Abstract: Container (1) for foodstuffs comprising a main body (2) having a bottom wall (2a) and a perimeter side wall (2c) connected to the bottom wall (2a) so as to define a containment volume for foodstuffs. The perimeter side wall (2b) being provided with an edge portion (2c) distal from the bottom wall (2a). The container (1) comprises a lid (3) comprising a central portion (3a) and engagement tabs (3b) extending from a perimeter portion (3c) of the central portion (3a) and configured to hook or to be hooked to the edge portion (2c) of the main body (2) so as to define a configuration for engaging the lid (3) with the main body (2). The central portion (3a) can be pressed by a user so as to obtain a movement of the engagement tabs (3b) away from the edge portion (2c), defining a configuration for disengaging the lid (3) from the main body (2).

Abstract: A disposable container (1, 1?, 1?), in particular for the disposal of sharp medical waste is provided, comprising a first opening (13, 13?) sealingly closable by a cover element (2), characterized in that the container is manufactured by blow-moulding; the largest cross-sectional diagonal of the container in the distal half with respect to the first opening is larger than the smallest cross-sectional diagonal of the container in the proximal half with respect to the first opening; and the container comprises a second opening (15, 15?) arranged opposite to the first opening or in the distal area with respect to the first opening, the second opening being sealingly closable by a base element (11, 11?).
