Abstract
A flexible bag assembly having at least one layer of a flexible material that permits a UV light source to penetrate through to sterilize bacterial contents on an interior of the flexible bag assembly. Transmission of the UV light source is maximized through the flexible material and to enhance a kill rate of bacteria within the interior of the flexible bag assembly. A bio-assimilator may be integrated into a composition of the flexible bag assembly to facilitate biodegradation by anaerobic degradation leaving no microplastic remnants.
Claims20
A flexible bag assembly comprising:
- at least one layer of a flexible material that permits a UV light source to penetrate through the flexible material to sterilize contents on a side opposite the UV light source, wherein a reduction rate of a transmission of the UV light source through the flexible material is low to enhance a kill rate of bacterial within an interior of the flexible bag assembly.
A flexible bag assembly comprising:
- at least one layer of a flexible material that permits a UV light source to penetrate through the flexible material to sterilize contents on an interior of the flexible bag assembly, wherein a reduction rate of a transmission of the UV light source through the flexible material is low to enhance a kill rate of bacterial within the interior of the flexible bag assembly;
- and
- a bio-assimilator integrated into a composition of the flexible bag assembly to biodegrade plastic to a molecular weight that is consumed by living organisms by anaerobic degradation leaving no microplastic remnants.
A flexible bag assembly comprising:
- a multilayer flexible material that permits a UV light source to penetrate through the multilayer flexible material to sterilize contents on an interior of the flexible bag assembly, wherein a reduction rate of a transmission of the UV light source through the multilayer flexible material is low to enhance a kill rate of bacterial within the interior of the flexible bag assembly,
- wherein the flexible bag assembly is installed in a waste container having at least one UV light source disposed therein.
