Waste Management Upstream: Keeping America Safe with Proactive Thinking

Challenge
Waste Management Upstream is not your usual waste management company. Built on the belief that biological and organic waste can, and should, be safely managed, the organization consistently seeks the most proactive solutions, and the most creative partners. When they learned that traditional disposal methods of farm crops—which includes plants and animals—could potentially expose humans to deadly disease, they sought PacTec’s assistance. They then approached the FDA with our collective interest in engineering a safer solution.

Solution
Thanks to PacTec, the BIO-ZIP™ sealable liner bag was born. A proprietary version of our standard TransPac™, this exclusive bag provides an easy-to-use alternative for Upstream’s clients, some of whom have never used waste packaging products before. Designed to contain potential leaking, odors, disease and other environmental contaminants, PacTec’s patented zipper closure ensures the secure transportation of the waste to landfills or incinerators. At the time of disposal, the bag stays intact, containing the waste. The end result? An ingenious PacTec solution, developed and manufactured to protect the worker, and the environment, from biological and organic waste.
