How To Dispose Of Hand Sanitiser
During the COVID-19 pandemic, large amounts of hand sanitiser products were produced to maintain hand hygiene and reduce the spread of the virus. However, with this production, we were faced with large quantities of waste that was surplus and passing expiry dates .
Typically, the industry standard for when hand sanitiser such as liquid gels expires is 2 to 3 years. For the disposal of expired hand sanitiser, or surplus products, you should contact a professional waste management team.
This is incredibly important for a large quantity of hand sanitiser, due to its classification as hazardous waste. Hand sanitiser is high alcohol based which causes its hazardous nature, due to its flammability risk. The alcohol based content poses a threat to both the environment and human health.
