The term “pharmaceutical waste” refers to materials used in the manufacturing and distribution of pharmaceuticals, as well as any outdated, unutilized, or contaminated medication. Medication, chemicals, solvents, and even packing materials fall into this category. Due to the nature of pharmaceuticals, incorrect disposal can have serious repercussions, such as soil contamination, water pollution, harm to wildlife, and health risks to humans.
Additionally, pharmaceutical waste disposal practices are subject to strict restrictions and regulations from a wide range of regulatory authorities, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As such, following regulations is not only morally necessary, but also required by law.
