Pharmaceutical Waste Services
Pharmaceuticals make valuable contributions to everyone’s lives, but their development can create toxic chemicals, some of which are considered hazardous by the EPA. In fact, pharmaceutical drugs are regulated by no less than seven different government agencies, so it’s imperative to handle their disposal properly.
We designed Pharmgreen, our comprehensive pharmaceutical waste management program, to address three objectives: Pharmaceutical Waste Identification, Regulation Compliance, and Environmental Stewardship. An added benefit is that it also simplifies the often-complicated process of disposing of waste pharmaceuticals.
With the industry-leading Pharmgreen program, our experts will help you:
- Determine whether the expired or unused drugs you are working with are categorized as non-hazardous or hazardous
- Prepare all the required regulatory paperwork to ensure proper disposal under the law
- Transport the drugs to an EPA-approved treatment facility
Managing Medical Marijuana Waste
Pharmgreen’s pharmaceutical cannabis waste management program offers flexible service schedules and can prepare all regulatory paperwork and labeling if necessary. Specially-designed Canna Away™ waste containers effectively render most expired marijuana-related products (tablets, oils, creams, edibles, etc.) unusable and unrecognizable in accordance with federal law.
