Hazardous waste bags are made from polymer-based materials. Some listings specify biopolymers, while others describe a resilient, high-density polymer film.
Most listings show tie or twist-tie closures, and many bags use a star-sealed bottom construction to reduce ripping or tearing.
Cases are sold in several pack counts depending on the listing, commonly 200, 250, and 500 bags per case.
Several listings specify that the hazardous waste bags are unscented.
Listed thicknesses for these bags include about 0.43 mil, 0.63 mil, and 1.05 mil.
Listings reference a 165-gram impact test and, on some items, a 480-gram Elmendorf tear test.
They are described for infectious or biohazardous trash and noted as ideal for large facilities and medical offices; one listing also mentions yard waste as a recommended application.
