Healthcare providers waste labelling

Proper labelling of hazardous waste is not just best practice — it’s a legal requirement in the UK.

Whether you’re a GP surgery, clinic, care setting or dental practice, you must correctly label hazardous waste bags and sharps containers so that the waste can always be traced back to where it was produced.

Healthcare waste producers must follow the Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005.


HTM07-01 states – “Each waste bag must be traceable back to its producer; this includes the post code, facility and department”. Traceability proves that waste has been managed correctly from point of production to final disposal.

You must label:

  • Hazardous clinical waste bags

  • Sharps containers

Labels should be clear and legible and include:

  • Name of business

  • Business postcode

  • Date the waste was placed at collection point

  • B Hygienic noted as your waste collector

This ensures the waste can be traced back to its producer and linked to the required records and documentation.

It has always been a requirement for healthcare producers to label their waste. Going forward we will not be able to collect unlabelled waste.

B Hygienic can provide waste bag tags to make it easier for you – please feel free to get in touch for more information

Is September the new January?

The end of summer marks a fresh start. Schools, offices, and businesses return to their regular routines after the holidays, and with this comes a renewed focus on organisation such as hygiene and facilities management.

While most businesses prioritise cleanliness and supplies, men’s washrooms often lack an important facility: disposal units. Providing hygienic disposal units in men’s washrooms isn’t just considerate—it’s essential. With growing awareness around men’s health and wellbeing, more businesses are recognising the need to make all washrooms inclusive, hygienic, and welcoming.

At B Hygienic, we’re here to support you in maintaining high standards as routines get busy again. Whether it’s fitting men’s disposal units, keeping your washrooms stocked, or providing advice, we ensure your facilities remain fresh, professional, and hygienic.

As summer draws to a close, now is the perfect time to review your washroom services and plan ahead. Why wait for the January blues- use this time to review your current arrangements.

Kev wins BBC “Make a Difference” Award

We’re proud to recognise Kev Griffiths, founder of Cancer my Arse who has just won the BBC Make a Difference Award for Fundraising.

For Kev — who is himself a stoma user and living with a terminal cancer diagnosis — this recognition is more than personal. It amplifies his mission: to break the silence, shift perceptions, and rally people around causes too often brushed aside.

His win shines a national spotlight on the everyday realities of living with a stoma — and why dignity and support matter.

B Hygienic are committed to that same mission. Our  Male Disposal Unit provides a discreet, hygienic solution for ostomy products in men’s washrooms — helping to normalise conversations around stoma care and ensure facilities are truly inclusive.

Kev’s recognition is more than an award — it’s a reminder that every voice counts. Let’s keep pushing for awareness, dignity, and change for stoma users everywhere.

To anyone reading this who has a stoma — or knows someone who does — Kev’s achievement is a reminder that your story matters. Whether you’re quietly navigating your own path, sharing your experience, or supporting others — every voice contributes to change.

To supporters recognise the importance of dignity, inclusion, and respect. Don’t shy away from conversations about stoma care, challenges in mental health, or the need for improved support services. Push for better resources, accessibility, and compassion.
