In addition to following federal, state and local guidelines for distribution of controlled substance and administering the proper forms and paperwork, it is also required to work with an approved reverse distributor to receive and process returned pharmaceuticals or hazardous waste.

Maintaining a highly ethical business practice involves internal best practices, communication and values. However, proper vendor and supplier management is also a critical factor in upholding strong business ethics in the pharmaceutical industry.

From research and development, distribution, and reverse distribution, the biopharmaceutical industry must support innovation.

Selecting the right Reverse Distributor to work with can provide safe, secure and efficient service and save you thousands of dollars.

Reverse distributors are a key partner in sustainability for pharmaceutical companies.

Even though we do not directly handle the disposal of biohazardous waste we encourage the professionals we work with to challenge the ways they organize and dispose of ALL waste.

Medicine is wasted in a variety of ways and there are many reasons why these pharmaceuticals go unused. The Food and Drug Administration works to reduce this costly waste and provides guidelines that help facilitate the industry. Even if each tier of the system were to do everything right, there would still be some wasted medication left over and in need of proper disposal.

Addiction and the abuse of pain medication leads to tens of thousands of deaths a year. Many of the deaths associated with drug overdoses involve opioids. The disposal of prescription drugs varies state to state. The responsibility that healthcare facilities take to avoid misuse and contamination from opioids is a vital part of saving lives.

Sometimes, a business that goes through a lot of prescription drugs can return unused products to the manufacturer for credit. There are multiple reasons why a drug could be deemed “non returnable”.

Make sure your facility is in compliance with EPA's Subpart P before it goes into effect this year.
