Scensibly Green
To ensure the health and safety of building occupants while having a positive impact on the environment; specifications and maintenance of restroom fixtures must include the best solution for the disposal of feminine care products.
THE SCENSIBLES SYSTEM: Single-use, biodegradable plastic feminine hygiene disposal bags embedded with antimicrobial agents to inhibit odor causing bacteria with tie handle closure to conceal contents, dispensed from refillable units; and specially designed bags to properly line sanitary napkin disposal units.
Create a Safer, Healthier Restroom
Best Practices: Preventative method with proven effectiveness and efficiency.
Follow Universal Precautions: In all settings, assume blood and bodily fluids may carry hepatitis viruses,HIV other blood borne infections.
Minimize exposure: Conceal potentially harmful contents in leak proof, sealable plastic bag.
Reduce cross-contamination: Diminish surface soiling.
Low touch system: Interleaved bags for one-touch dispensing.
Exceed OSHA expectation: Provide maximum protection for cleaning crew from direct contact with discarded product and contaminated surfaces.
Cleaning chemicals: Less germicide required to clean disposal unit.
Conserve Water and Reduce Debris in the Wastewater Stream
Better Practices: Reroute the disposal of feminine care products from the wastewater stream to solid waste to solid waste stream.
Toilet is not a wastebasket: Efficient practices can reduce water usage.
Less maintenance of restroom fixtures: Fewer toilet clogs and overflows mean lower maintenance expenses.
Protect the plumbing infrastructure and reduce the burden on wastewater treatment systems: Less damage to indoor, municipal sewer systems and sewage plants.
Reduce the pollution of waters of the United States: Minimize sanitary sewer overflows and “floatables” (plastic tampon applicators).
Decrease solids in septic tanks: Eliminate build up and subsequent groundwater contamination.
Communicate Water Efficiency and Sanitary Practices
Public awareness: Heighten knowledge of the proper hygiene procedures and waste disposal methods
