This document discusses the S.A.C. sealable disposal bags and system for safely disposing of personal hygiene products. It notes that S.A.C. bags provide a sanitary solution by sealing each product individually, reducing the spread of bacteria, viruses, and odors. The system aims to reduce costs associated with plumbing issues and preventable healthcare-associated infections. S.A.C. bags are more convenient and hygienic than traditional wax-lined bags.
