Compostable Kidney Dish

Haines^® Compostable Kidney Dish.

Haines Compostable Medical Trays are designed to alleviate the reliance on fast-moving, petro-plastic consumables by hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Made from PFAS-free, medical-grade, sugarcane bagasse, Haines Compostable Medical Trays set a new standard in environmental consideration for Australian healthcare.

Often found in dishes, trays and packaging, PFAS (per- and poly-fluoralkyl substances) are chemicals that can linger in the environment and pose an increasing number of health concerns when disposed of.¹

For this reason, such products can no longer be certified as compostable under European standards. By eliminating PFAS, Haines sugarcane bagasse trays provide a cleaner, environmentally friendlier alternative for healthcare providers and the planet.

Haines Compostable Medical Trays and Dishes are also:

• Single use to support infection control practices and avoid cross-contamination
• Durable in structure with a smooth inner base that can be wiped with an isopropyl alcohol wipe or vapour/steam sterilised before use, if required
• Puncture resistant²
• Water resistant – can retain liquid (excluding alcohol-based solutions) for over 24 hours²
• Wax and plastic free²
• Compostable in 90 days²

Haines Compostable Kidney Dish:

• Multipurpose medical dish
• 720ml capacity²
• Weight: 25g
• 24.5cm L x 12cm W x 5.5cm H
• BOX 400

Benefits:

• Saves time and water required to wash and restock reusable dishes.
• Multipurpose for wound care items, medication and more.
• Helps divert excess holloware waste from landfill.

Haines Compostable Medical Trays can be composted or placed in general waste unless heavily soiled or used in a high infection risk area. Certified compostable to stringent European standards, they naturally break down, reducing waste and supporting a healthier ecosystem.
