Talk To An ExpertWhat is incineration in pharmaceuticals?
Incineration in the pharmaceutical industry, just as it is in cremation, medical practices and agriculture, is a system that both reduces the volume of waste products and their potential harmful effects to the environment. By extensively burning whatever the waste product may be and filtering the smoke through high-tech filtration systems, you can create less overall volume of waste that is far safer to dispose of.
What is the use of an incinerator in pharmaceuticals?
In the pharmaceutical industry, an incinerator is primarily used for the safe and compliant disposal of hazardous and pharmaceutical waste. Incineration completely destroys these substances, eliminating the risk of environmental contamination, preventing misuse or accidental exposure, all while ensuring compliance with strict regulatory and environmental standards.
What types of pharmaceutical waste can incinerators be used for?
- Expired or unused pharmaceutical medications
- Partially used medication, IVs and vials
- Outdated or discontinued medication
- Cytotoxic or cytostatic drugs that require specific handling
- Patient-specific medication
