Crafted from 100% sugarcane fiber, this tray is designed for both medical and general use, providing a sustainable option without compromising on functionality.

Key Features

• Material Composition: Made entirely from renewable sugarcane fiber, also known as bagasse, the tray is available in its standard form or with an optional bioplastic coating, suitable for use with alcohol-based solutions.
• Durability: The tray is waterproof, puncture-resistant, and capable of holding liquids for extended periods, making it soak proof and oil proof. It is suitable for both hot and cold items, with no plastic or wax lining.
• Design: Featuring a clean-edge finish, the tray is lightweight yet robust, offering comfortable handling. It includes four compartments, ideal for transporting and storing medical items such as syringes and ampoules.
• Versatility: The tray can be sterilized and included in procedure packs, aligning with single-use or single-patient-use protocols to reduce cross-infection risks.

Environmental Impact

EcoAid's tray excels in biodegradability and compostability, typically decomposing in less than 30 days, with some conditions extending this to 60-90 days. It complies with ASTM D6868 and EN13432 standards, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The tray is suitable for incineration, offering reduced CO₂ emissions, and can often be disposed of in general waste or recycling bins, adhering to local guidelines.

Certifications and Compliance

Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certification and listed with the TGA, the tray meets all relevant industrial and international standards. Its design reduces health risks associated with plastics, making it an ideal choice for medical and hospital environments, including use as anaesthetic and procedure trays.

Limitations

While the standard version is not suitable for alcohol-based skin prep solutions, the bioplastic-coated version addresses this limitation. The tray is not intended for use with alcohol-based medications.
