Sustainable Packaging in Healthcare

Ecolab Healthcare ANZ is committed to reducing plastic waste and improving packaging sustainability across our product portfolio. Our solutions feature recyclable, compostable, and non-toxic packaging formats that help healthcare facilities meet their environmental goals without compromising safety or compliance.

From wipe packets made from recycled content to kits packaged in PLA free recyclable bags, designed for minimal material use, our packaging innovations support a circular economy and reduce landfill impact.

Biodegradable Medical Consumables

Our biodegradable / compostable consumables offer a responsible alternative to traditional single-use items. Designed for high-performance infection control, these products – including compostable endoscopy bedside cleaning bowls – decompose naturally, helping reduce the environmental footprint of healthcare operations.

Ecolab’s commitment to biodegradable innovation ensures that sustainability and hygiene go hand in hand.

Water & Energy Efficient Reprocessing Solutions

Ecolab’s reprocessing systems are engineered to conserve water and energy while delivering consistent, validated cleaning outcomes. Our Belimed Washer Disinfector uses smart dosing, low-temperature cycles, and efficient rinse technologies to reduce resource consumption.

These innovations help hospitals and clinics lower operational costs and environmental impact while maintaining compliance with AS/NZS standards and healthcare guidelines.

Going Green with Environmental Hygiene Solutions

Our Environmental Hygiene range supports greener cleaning practices through concentrated formulations and will be expanding on this soon through sustainable packaging.

Products like our surface disinfectants will be available in recyclable packaging, including packaging manufactured from recycled materials to reduced-plastic formats.

These solutions help healthcare facilities reduce waste to support broader sustainability goals in daily hygiene routines.
