About

Compliant disposal
of bulk hand sanitiser

Packaged hand sanitisers can’t go in the general waste bin because its high alcohol content makes it flammable and hazardous, while its mixed packaging (plastic, cardboard, bulk drums) complicates recycling.

Cleanaway is skilled in providing an end-to-end solution for the secure disposal of expired, damaged, off-spec or excess hand sanitiser.

From collection to processing, your liquid contents are safely treated and packaging is responsibly recycled where possible or responsibly disposed of.

Our nationwide service includes flexible pickups, EPA-compliant transport, and full digital waste tracking, giving you peace of mind and protecting your brand, reputation and the environment.

Expired or damaged hand sanitiser liquids

Includes gel or liquid hand sanitisers that are past their expiry date, contaminated, or no longer suitable for use.

Cleanaway’s investment in state-of-the-art depackaging technology means that products like packaged hand sanitiser can be safely processed and the components recycled where possible.

Our depackaging units use mechanical and centrifugal technologies to separate the liquid sanitiser from the packaging (such as plastic bottles, pumps, caps or sachets), recovering up to 99% of the packaged liquid. The extracted sanitiser (which typically contains alcohol or ethanol) is safely destroyed in accordance with EPA regulations, while the remaining plastic, foil or cardboard packaging is sorted for recycling or sent to landfill if it’s not able to be recovered.
