PEVA Body Bag

PEVA (Polyethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a highly flexible, non-chlorinated plastic film. Unlike traditional PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PEVA contains zero chlorine, making it completely cremation safe and compliant with EPA “Burn Wise” clean air regulations. When processed in an extraction or cremation retort, it incinerates cleanly without producing toxic dioxins or chlorinated gases, protecting both crematory equipment and the environment.

Classified in the Medium Weight tier, this adult-sized cadaver bag features an elongated footprint measuring 40″ x 95″ (101.6 cm x 241.3 cm). Structurally, it is rated for a maximum suggested weight capacity of up to 475 lbs, providing ample interior space and high tensile reliability for standard to high-mass adult containment.

No, this standard model is non-handled. It is engineered with a smooth, continuous sealed and sewn edge construction to maximize fluid containment and eliminate potential puncture points. For transfer operations requiring dedicated lifting grips, institutional buyers should look into the PEVA Body Bags – 8 Handles variant.

This postmortem containment bag utilizes a curved envelope-style zipper path to simplify decedent insertion and access. The closure mechanism features a heavy-duty Single #10 Zipper slider, delivering a smooth glide that holds up reliably under cold-storage conditions without sticking or binding.

Because of its clean-burning polymer profile, crematoriums are the primary commercial buyers of this PEVA bag. However, because of its solid 0.20 mm thickness and leak-resistant fabrication, it is also frequently stocked by county coroners, medical examiners, hospital morgues, and removal service transport networks looking for an eco-friendly containment solution.
