Understanding biomedical waste packaging color codes is critical to safe and effective waste management. Here is a quick overview:

Yellow bag: This is for infectious and pathological waste, including human tissues, organs, body parts, blood-soaked materials and microbiological waste. These items are potentially infectious and must be handled with care.

Red bag: For contaminated waste that is recyclable, such as gloves, tubes and other plastic items. These materials can be disinfected and reused, helping to minimize waste.

White (translucent) container: Use this for sharps waste such as needles, syringes and scalpels. These items can puncture the skin and must be stored in a puncture-resistant container to avoid injury.

Blue Bag/Container: Ideal for glassware and metal waste, including broken or discarded glassware and contaminated slides and test tubes. Proper disposal of these items prevents damage and ensures safety.

Black bag: For non-hazardous household waste such as paper and packaging material that does not pose a biological hazard. These are everyday items that do not require any special treatment.

Stay informed and safe by correctly using biomedical waste color codes!
