What type of pharmaceutical waste do we collect?

Pharmaceutical waste is defined as any medicines that cannot be reused or returned. This could be because the medicine is expired, unused, damaged, contaminated or recalled. Both partially-filled and empty medicine containers are also classed as pharmaceutical waste.

Typically, pharmaceutical waste can be categorised into non-hazardous waste and hazardous waste. Hazardous medicinal drugs can include cytotoxic and cytostatic medicines or denatured medicines. Often, pharmaceutical waste can contain clinical sharps too which have been used to administer both hazardous and non-hazardous medication.

At Anenta, we provide an end-to-end service, ensuring that all pharmaceutical waste is disposed of in line with regulatory requirements. If third party waste disposal providers are required, we’ll maintain complete oversight of these services too, providing you with a streamlined process.

What’s the cost of failing to adhere to pharmaceutical waste compliance?

From fines and penalties to reputational damage, not adhering to waste compliance could result in serious consequences for both your business and the environment.

Pharmaceutical waste can contain hazardous substances which can pose a risk to public health and the environment. If not properly disposed of, this waste can lead to environmental pollution, harm wildlife, contaminate water sources and cause serious illness.

Working together with our experienced team will give you the peace of mind that your waste management process is compliant and cost-effective. Without the proper measures in place, you risk significant and costly implications.
