Clinical waste management

Pharmaceutical Waste Management

Careful and efficient waste management is key to the safe operation of any pharmaceutical working environment. Like all forms of healthcare waste management, processing the refuse in pharmacies requires close attention to health and safety, as well as the expertise to dispose of different medical waste types in the correct ways, which is why pharmaceutical waste management is so important.

The risks of improper pharmaceutical waste management

Improper pharmaceutical waste disposal and clinical waste management can cause the mishandling of medical waste to pose management serious risks to the environment, but it also has the potential to harm human health, with mismanaged waste at risk of spreading disease, infection or causing injury.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      • Pharmaceutical waste management is the processing, treatment and recycling or disposal of any waste produced by pharmacies.  

      • Many forms of clinical waste cannot be recycled and must be destroyed safely, though some pharmaceutical waste items can be made safe via sterilisation or industrial treatment, while packaging and other items can generally be recycled if handled correctly.

      • The pharmaceutical industry can reduce waste by ensuring that refuse and other miscellaneous items are recycled wherever possible. While this can often only be done using specific recycling centres that are specialised in the recycling of medical waste, Samsic UK is committed to ensuring that all waste is recycled whenever this is a viable option.

      • Any waste containing medicinal drugs which are expired, unused, damaged, contaminated or simply no longer needed is considered pharmaceutical waste. 

      • The producer of any pharmaceutical waste is responsible for ensuring its safe disposal, leaving pharmacies liable if waste is not handled correctly. With the help of Samsic UK’s pharmaceutical waste management team, you can continue day-to-day operations with the knowledge that any waste produced in your workplace is being processed, treated and disposed of appropriately.
