To ensure that infectious waste is properly disposed of with a proper record, the UK law recommends using orange clinical waste bags that are tightened with security seals.
Expert waste management companies like TCW offer sizes, closure options, and environmentally-friendly disposal methods for various types of contaminated materials.
TCW intends to provide solutions to all businesses, irrespective of the business size. Thus, we have made it a point to provide orange bags for clinical waste in all sizes between 20L and 90L. In terms of the kilogram, we provide bags starting with 4 kg to 25 kg. The bags themselves are classified into three – Light, Midweight and Heavyweight. Orange clinical waste bag are used to connect soft infectious waste. The waste may include aprons, blood bags, swabs, gowns etc.
Disposal of orange bags includes heat treatment so that the waste is disintegrated thus losing the infectious nature and then it is incinerated so that any possibility of acquiring infections is removed. The orange waste bag should not be filled more than two-thirds or 67% of its capacity or 8 kg, whichever comes first. As soon as the bag is 67% full, it is advised to connect with the local council for further processes.
The four steps towards disposal are collection, segregation, transportation and disposal. The collection is the most basic step to collect waste. However, once it is collected there is a chance that the waste streams might have gotten mixed up. Since every bag is treated differently, it is important to segregate orange waste bags. Once segregated, it is transported to the respective facility and then it is disposed of.
Clinical waste bags are in different colours because it is very important to separate the waste correctly. Once it is segregated the wastes can be disposed of accordingly as per the UK laws and regulations.
The disposal of the yellow bags is simply done through incineration. However, orange waste bags are exposed to extreme heat before it is incinerated.
Orange clinical waste bags can be emptied weekly, or biweekly, depending on the waste that is generated by the facility.

I have recently started using their service for Imaan Ltd. I found them professional, efficient and very promptly the accounts were set up. We have taken their service for sanitary waste and sharps waste for our 12 sites across the UK. So far we are very pleased with their service provided.
I've heard a lot about Trikon, and I'd like to say that I've had a great experience with them. The key thing is to communicate and then you will be surprised at how helpful Trikon can be. We had a couple of minor issues with the start of the contract but nothing that Trikon and the team didn't sort out quickly. They have been more than flexible during the last 3 months of C-19 so no complaints there. To be honest their service so far has been excellent and far far better than Biffa ever was. Give them a chance, communicate and you will be very happy. Good value service and very helpful.
Excellent service for all our branches. From our personal experience, Trikon has always delivered in a timely manner and excellent price. Way better than having Veolia, Biffa and Citron Hygiene.
