Dispose of plasters and gauze at home: do you know how to do it correctly?

How to dispose of plasters and gauze correctly

The President of the Republic spoke on the issue of medical waste with decree no. 254/2003. According to the provision, the classification of products takes place using the CER code (European Waste Catalogue).

Regarding hazardous waste under the infectious level , such as plasters and gauze, the correct category is made up of the CER codes 1801030 or 180202. They are not recyclable, as they risk becoming a receptacle for viruses and bacteria.
