LAB REPORT: HEPA Filtered Waste Bags
Installed in Polyurethane, PVC or PE Bags

"Size-Reduction Packaging for Low Level Waste"

Outline Description
The waste bag system is a polyurethane bags that have built-in HEPA filters. This allows air to be driven out of our polyurethane bags after they have been welded without releasing radioactive contamination. It is claimed that this reduces waste volume by up to 50%.

Prospective Benefits
Improved Safety
No significant impact

Improved Environmental Performance
Fewer transport movements (energy, pollution)
Lower waste volume in process (storage) and potentially final disposal

Improved Quality of Goods or Services
No significant impact
Mil spec packaging

Accelerated Schedule
More productive at work-face due to fewer changes of waste bins

Reduced Cost
Lower cost of transport
Lower cost of storage
Lower cost of disposal

Product Description:
The products are double welded, tubular stock bags of the following materials:

• Polyester/ polyurethane up to 65" x 65" x 8mil
• PVC up to 36" x 48" x 6 mil
• LDPE up to 65" x 65" x 8mil

All bags are tinted green or yellow so that they can be identified from a distance, but they are transparent enough for text to be read on materials inside the bag. All bags are double welded at the bottom and made from tubular stock so that there is only one seam.

The manufacturer can supply bags with nuclear grade HEPA filters (.9997 borosilicate filtration level) to allow air to be squeezed out without releasing radioactive particles.
