Standard big bags cannot be used for asbestos waste

What Are Asbestos Skip Bags?
Asbestos container bags — also called asbestos skip bags — are large-format UN-certified FIBCs designed to fit inside standard skip containers and roll-on/roll-off containers used on large construction and demolition sites. Working with large amounts of asbestos being removed? Our skip bags fit perfectly inside 20-yard containers and are a popular choice among asbestos removal companies across Europe.
Unlike standard big bags, every asbestos bag from 123BigBags is engineered specifically for hazardous waste containment — with a sealed inner PE liner as the primary fibre barrier, a heavy-duty woven PP outer bag for mechanical protection, UN 13B/III certification for ADR road transport, and mandatory hazard printing in four languages.
🔒 PE liner — sealed inner barrier
The sealed inner PE liner is the primary barrier preventing any asbestos fibre release. It must be heat-sealed — not just tied — before the outer bag is closed. Available in single or double-wall construction.
📋 UN 13B/III certification
Independently tested and certified for Class 9 dangerous goods transport. The UN mark on every bag confirms ADR compliance. UN test certificate and Certificate of Conformance supplied with every delivery.
🏷️ Mandatory hazard labelling
Official ASBEST / GEVAARLIJK AFVAL / ASBESTOS printing in four languages, ADR Class 9 pictogram, and PP recycling code 5 — compliant with EU and UK requirements.
📦 Skip container compatible
Dimensions matched to standard 7 m³, 17.5 m³ and 40 m³ skip containers. The bag sits inside the skip — protecting the container from contamination and allowing liner sealing before removal.
🌍 EU & UK approved
Compliant with current European Union regulations and UK requirements for asbestos waste packaging. Suitable for use in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, the UK and across Europe.
📄 Full documentation included
UN test certificate, Certificate of Conformance and product data sheet supplied with every delivery. Essential for waste manifests, processing facility acceptance, and your duty-of-care records.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Standard big bags are not certified for dangerous goods and do not provide the double containment required for asbestos waste. Using a non-certified bag for asbestos is illegal in all European countries and creates serious personal and company liability. Only use 123BigBags certified asbestos bags with UN 13B/III certification.
Every delivery includes a UN test certificate, Certificate of Conformance, and product data sheet. These documents are required at most licensed asbestos processing facilities and are essential for your duty-of-care records and waste manifests.
The inner liner must be heat-sealed — not just tied. Knotting or tying a liner does not create a fibre-tight seal. Procedure: (1) place asbestos material in inner liner; (2) expel air from liner; (3) fold liner neck and heat-seal or use an approved closure; (4) place sealed liner in outer bag; (5) close and tie the outer fill spout; (6) label immediately with ASBEST / GEVAARLIJK AFVAL markings before moving the bag.
Use the Asbestos Sheet Bag (250×150×50 cm, 1.25 m³). Flat ACM such as cement sheets, floor tiles, roofing slates and asbestos insulating board (AIB) do not fit efficiently in a standard round FIBC — and sharp sheet edges create liner puncture risk. The sheet bag provides better fit, less liner puncture risk, and more efficient space use in transport.
