Transportation container for waste and hazardous goods

The Hazibag is a flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) designed for transporting dangerous goods, obviating the need for steel bins. Iniitially developed in Queensland for the transportation of asbestos,  its application was extended and can also be used to handle contaminated soil, toxic wood and plants, medical waste and veterinarian waste.

The Hazibags are certified under UN regulations for transport and storage of packing group II and III solid DG. Available in four different sizes, the 1 m³ is certified for packing group II and III; the asbestos-specific container is 1.5 m³; the larger is 3 m³; and the 'De-con' 100 L unit was specifically designed for emergency services to transport contaminated equipment.

Built to emergency services' requirements, the De-con Hazibag comes with water-soluble, one-time-use liners.  The contaminated equipment gets loaded into the water-soluble bag, which in turn goes in the Hazibag to be sealed and transported to the decontamination centre.  There, the Hazibag can be opened and the contaminated equipment and clothes can go straight into the decontamination chamber or washing machine while still inside the plastic bag - there is no secondary handling or contact with the contaminating agents. The bag will dissolve in the wash when it comes in contact with the water.
