Sanitary bin

Sanitary bin: lid yes but!

The choice of the sanitary bin raises another question which is that of the possible contact between the bin and the bin.
In fact, the user has just washed and disinfected their hands, dried them with paper towels or an electric hand dryer...at this precise moment the hands are supposed to be free of bacteria.
If the user is forced to touch a lid or a bin opening mechanism with their hands, there is a risk of recontaminating the user's hands given the cleanliness of the bin...
So yes, a lid is visually preferable and this is perfectly understandable, but this will require that the cleaning and disinfection protocol for the toilet not forget the bin and the lid.
The other option is to take for low traffic areas a trash can with an opening mechanism or foot.
If you want to stick with a wall-mounted bin, then a removable bin like the Arkéa Rossignol without a lid will be preferable, especially in high traffic areas.

Sanitary bin, essential equipment

Waste management in public spaces and especially in toilets has become an essential piece of equipment, especially when it comes to sanitary bins.

Sanitary bins are designed to manage waste efficiently and hygienically, whether it is to collect disposable paper towels or miscellaneous waste such as tissues.
