Waste is an inevitable part of life—but it doesn’t have to be a problem. At Cromwell Polythene, we believe that effective waste management starts with choosing the right waste sacks. Rather than chasing an ideal of a ‘zero-waste’ lifestyle, the more achievable goal is to manage waste better—ensuring it’s correctly segregated, securely contained, and disposed of through sustainable channels.
The right waste sack plays a pivotal role in this process. Whether in healthcare, hospitality, construction, or local government, using purpose-designed sacks helps reduce contamination, support recycling, and deliver more value from every disposal effort.
Clinical Waste Sacks: Essential for Safety and Compliance
Managing healthcare waste demands precision. Clinical waste—including items like swabs, dressings, and sharps—must be handled in line with UK regulations to prevent risks to public health and the environment.
Cromwell’s clinical waste sacks come colour-coded—yellow, orange, and tiger-striped—ensuring easy identification and segregation. Our sacks:
- Comply with UN and UK regulatory standards.
- Are clearly printed for correct use.
- Include recycled materials.
Whether you run a hospital, care home, dental practice, or veterinary clinic, our waste sacks keep your environment safe, compliant, and resource-efficient.
Food Waste Sacks: Supporting Simpler Recycling
As new Simpler Recycling rules roll out across the UK, food waste must now be collected separately. Doing so prevents methane emissions from landfill and helps convert organic waste into renewable energy and compost.
Our food waste sacks, available in both compostable and polythene options, offer:
- Improved hygiene and odour control.
- Compatibility with both composting and anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities.
- Easy handling for households and commercial kitchens.
Compostable food waste sacks break down alongside food waste in industrial composting systems. For AD plants, our polythene liners support processing while aligning with circular economy principles.
Construction Waste Sacks: Built for Heavy Loads
Not all waste sacks are equal. Using the correct sack enhances:
- Waste security—preventing leaks and reducing injury risks.
- Segregation accuracy—boosting recycling success and reducing costly contamination.
- Sustainability—supporting organisational goals for waste reduction and resource recovery.
Whether you’re disposing of clinical items, food scraps, or building debris, the right sack ensures the job is done safely, responsibly, and efficiently.
