Tips for Better Management of Pharmaceutical Waste
Medical waste is considered to be the most hazardous waste of all. It can easily 
harm the environment and its bio life severely. This is why the proper disposal of 
medical waste is the most crucial topic. These must be disposed of in appropriate 
disposal containers specially made for disposing of medical waste. However, 
different types of medical waste are disposed of in containers made especially for 
those types. It includes body fluids, tubes, sharps, etc. generated from homes, 
clinics, hospitals, etc.
 
One more type of medical waste is there which is very common and is mostly 
neglected, that is Pharmaceutical waste. Like any other medical waste, 
pharmaceutical waste management is equally important. The 
pharmaceutical waste must also be disposed of accurately as its improper 
disposal may lead to environmental pollution in addition to many public health 
issues.
Segregating it from Other Medical Waste
Controlled substances such as opiates and benzodiazepines must be 
removed from the pharmaceutical waste. These substances should be 
addressed according to the US Drug Enforcement Agency's rules, 
regulations, and guidelines. The unused controlled substances should be 
returned to the manufacturers. For this, many licensed reverse 
distributors can be contacted easily.
Keep any Trace Chemotherapy Waste Separately
As universally known, chemotherapy waste is extremely damaging to 
everyone and should be disposed of appropriately. Trace chemotherapy 
waste consists of empty medication vials or bottles, IV medication tubes, 
and even the medical gloves worn by the staff while doing chemotherapy. 
All this kind of waste must be disposed of in an FDA approved yellow 
container. Additionally, expired chemotherapy medications should be 
disposed of as hazardous chemical waste.
Medical Waste Disposal Services and Products
After taking all the precautions correctly, collaborating with the right waste 
disposal service provider is the next step in this process. The right service provider 
with a license and good knowledge will assist you better in the disposal of waste 
appropriately. They will also help you in following the rules and regulations related 
to pharmaceutical waste management.
 
Many companies also provide products that are specifically made for the proper 
disposal of medical waste. It will also help protect the environment and its bio life.
Final Consideration
Pharmaceutical waste management must be done very carefully as it is very 
crucial to dispose of it properly. It must be managed differently than the 
biohazardous waste to prevent it from getting disposed of in a landfill. Thus, it 
should be made sure that all the non-biohazardous waste should not be disposed of 
in 'Red' containers made for biohazardous waste disposal.
