Colour Code Guide: Clinic Waste Segregation

Rebecca Waters
By Rebecca Waters

Rebecca Waters is Category Manager at Initial Medical and has worked in the Healthcare sector for the past 13 years.


Effective segregation of waste is essential to eliminate unnecessary incineration and overtreatment, reducing the production of climate-changing emissions and promoting sustainability. Initial Medical offers several solutions to help your aesthetic clinic optimise your waste disposal.

These include a comprehensive range of colour-coded waste bags, containers and sharps containers that make waste segregation simple. There are also eco sharps containers made from at least 40% recycled plastic and rigid recycled cardboard waste containers for soft clinical waste.

Helping your team to segregate waste effectively every day, the colour-coded posters – free to download from the website – are a timely reminder when placed at waste disposal locations around the clinic.

Improve your waste segregation and optimise your sustainability as a business with Initial Medical.
