Abstract: A hazardous materials container provides an enclosure for the transshipment of biological and other materials. The enclosure provides a portable, disposable, and/or reusable container. A first outside layer is constructed of a corrugated fiberboard. An inside lamination of reinforcing material, such as polyethylene terephthalate provides mechanical robustness to the container that meets new regulations for impact on such a container during shipment. Sections of reinforcing materials are recessed from the edges of the fiberboard. When assembled, the die-cut and bonded reinforcing materials provide a transportation container system suitable for shipping infections substances and other hazardous materials. The reinforcing materials permit fabrication of containers which protect the inner primary receptacles which are used to contain the transported materials.

Abstract: This waste container consists of a carton. An internal wrapping is designed to contain the waste and its upper part is held in an opening provided in the one of the upper flaps which is folded down first. At least one of the upper flaps is fitted, at its ends, with a closing and supporting tab designed to operate together with the opposite side of the container. Once filled, internal wrapping is closed by a tie and all upper flaps are folded down. The upper flap which is folded down last is fitted with a tab able to be inserted between flaps already folded down and the opposite side of the carton. This tab is fitted with a slot able to accommodate a safety locking tab which is pulled out of the opposite side of the container.
