Protective clothing made from Tyvek is inexpensive to purchase, once they have been used they can simply be thrown out. There is no concern with waste disposal as the material does not contain halogenic materials although, if the garment was exposed to a hazardous material it must be disposed of using the same disposal methods as used to get rid of the substance.
