Standard big bags cannot be used for asbestos waste
Asbestos is classified as a Class 9 dangerous good (UN 2590). Only UN 13B/III certified bags with a sealed PE inner liner meet the legal packaging requirements for asbestos waste across the EU and UK. Using a non-certified bag is illegal and creates serious liability.

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.No. At 123BigBags we sell by the unit — from a single bag to full pallet quantities. Volume pricing applies automatically at checkout for larger orders. We recommend ordering 20–30% more than your estimate — unused bags can be stored and used on future projects.Yes.
