Trash Bags

Description

Trash bags are critical for maintaining hygiene and sanitation in emergency and humanitarian settings. Whether in camps, shelters, or mobile facilities, managing waste efficiently helps prevent the spread of illness and improves overall living conditions. Therefore, these bags are included in hygiene and cleaning kits distributed during crises.

They are made from durable polyethylene and can handle different waste volumes. Available in multiple sizes, they adapt easily to household or communal waste collection. In addition, the roll packaging allows for easy transport and individual distribution.

By using trash bags, communities can manage waste more safely, reducing environmental risks and supporting basic public health.

Use in Humanitarian Settings

Trash bags are often provided in personal hygiene kits, cleaning kits, or communal WASH interventions. For example, mobile health units use them to contain medical and sanitary waste. In camps, households rely on them for daily garbage collection. Because proper waste disposal reduces disease risk, trash bags play a key role in maintaining public health during displacement or emergency response.
