A feminine hygienic tool disposal bag is an apparatus that is used to securely contain and deodorize discarded feminine hygiene products. The apparatus includes a container, an elastic rim, and a deodorizing strip. The container is used as a structural unit to mount all of the aforementioned components. The container inverts to ensure a clean exterior for temporary storage of disposed products. The elastic rim widens to enable items to enter the container, to allow the container to invert, and to help secure items in place. The deodorizing strip encircles the container, so that when the user inverts the container, the deodorizing strip is proximal to odors and smells from disposed hygienic articles.

The present invention relates to a hygienic interactive system for sanitary material comprising a dispenser having at least three drawers, at least three buttons corresponding to the aforementioned three drawers, and a display screen; and, a disposal feature having at least two compartments and at least one sensor located on the top compartment The sensor being connected with the display screen and with drawers of the dispenser. The disposal additionally comprises at least three compartments containing an incinerating compartment.

A tampon disposal device includes a tubular stiffener, and a membrane conforming to the stiffener with an opening on one end and an enclosure opposite the opening. The membrane is folded inside the stiffener into a first layer attached to the stiffener; and second and third layers that form a lip surrounding the stiffener near a stiffener rim. The second layer folds over the rim, reversing direction to become the third layer lip portion. The third layer continues inside the stiffener. A weak adhesive attaches the lip to the outside stiffener. Another adhesive attaches the first layer to the second layer inside the stiffener. When a hand grasps a tampon siring with the membrane and pulls on the string, the first adhesive allows the lip to separate and be pulled into the stiffener together with the tampon. Pushing inwardly on the stiffener seals the tampon inside the membrane.

A lid for a sanitary bin may include a container with a container interior, the container including an end wall, at least one side wall extending from a first end connected to the end wall to a distal second end, the at least one side wall further including a waste aperture, and the at least one side wall further comprising at least one slit extending from the second end towards the first end. A sanitary bin using a lid in the above form is also described. In this way, a hygienic sanitary bin suitable for high intensity use is provided.

A tampon disposal device includes a tubular stiffener, and a membrane conforming to the stiffener with an opening on one end and an enclosure opposite the opening. The membrane is folded inside the stiffener into a first layer attached to the stiffener; and second and third layers that form a lip surrounding the stiffener near a stiffener rim. The second layer folds over the rim, reversing direction to become the third layer lip portion. The third layer continues inside the stiffener. A weak adhesive attaches the lip to the outside stiffener. Another adhesive attaches the first layer to the second layer inside the stiffener. When a hand grasps a tampon string with the membrane and pulls on the string, the first adhesive allows the lip to separate and be pulled into the stiffener together with the tampon. Pushing inwardly on the stiffener seals the tampon inside the membrane.

A waste disposal system includes a cassette having a latch feature. The latch feature is received within a cassette interface or secured by a cassette interface. A waste disposal device includes a lid that mitigates disturbance of ambient air surrounding the waste disposal device. A liner clamping system has an associated timing that mitigates against air within the interior space of the waste disposal device from travelling upward through the liner clamping system, past the lid (when the lid is in an open configuration) and outward into the surrounding environment.

The present disclosure is directed to apparatus including a container having an open top end, a closed bottom end, and a sidewall. The apparatus also includes a divider disposed within the container forming a first chamber and a second chamber isolated from the first, and at least one lid movably secured relative to the open top end of the container such that upon moving from a first closed position to an second open position at least one of the first or second chamber is accessible.

An interface for a waste disposal device includes a cassette and a waste disposal device. Features of the interface reside on the cassette and on the waste disposal device. The interface permits connection of the cassette into the waste disposal device to assist with proper insertion and/or attachment of the cassette to the waste disposal device. In one embodiment, one or more latch features in the waste disposal device engage with one or more ramp features on the cassette body.

An improved receptacle liner bag is formed of two layers of thin flexible stretchable plastic sheets which are sealed along the sides and bottom, but are unsealed along the top of the bag. The sheets are die-cut to form a framed opening which defines a band between the sides and the top of the bag. When the bag is placed in the receptacle, the band may be disposed around the outside of the sides of the receptacle and stretched over the base of the receptacle so as to provide a hold-down for the bag in the receptacle. The sheets may be perforated along a line below the framed opening. The line, when opened, forms an auxiliary band which can be stretched over and placed behind a hinge of a lid of the receptacle to secure the back of the liner bag in the receptacle.

The invention relates to a method for converting secondary biological material into reusable energy and for storing said material, said method initially packages, transports, and stores the secondary biological material in portions in at least one gas-tight encasing material in at least one layer. The encasing material and/or a material added to the secondary biological material hereby promotes production of at least one gas in the casing. Further, the invention relates to an encasing method for sealing secondary biological material in portions in casings comprising at least one transport device which is designed to form an accommodation depression together with the first encasing material. The invention further relates to an encasing device for sealing secondary biological material in portions in a sealed casing for each portion comprising at least one fill opening for accommodating a portion of the secondary biological material to be sealed on an encasing material in at least one accommodation body. An encasing material according to the invention comprises a flat, single web or multiple flat webs in multiple layers or a tube, comprising at least one gas-impermeable layer.
