What happens to my recycled pharmaceutical waste?

We always ensure correct disposal of pharmaceutical waste, expired or not, to prevent misuse. After sorting and secure storage, licensed carriers transport it to a nearby facility.

The treatment process differs based on the type of waste. Typically, it’s incinerated to break down chemicals, and the resulting residue can be mixed with other waste.

Biohazardous waste undergoes sterilisation to remove infectious elements before proper waste disposal.
