With more than 160,000 National Drug Codes (NDC) for pharmaceuticals currently available in the U.S. and more being added every year, accurately identifying and disposing of pharmaceutical waste is a daunting task for hospitals.

Fact is, each year hospitals purchase over 3.9 billion vials, ampoules, bottles and syringes containing dangerous hazardous content. They also discard 7,400 containers of hazardous Rx waste per minute.

Improperly dispensed waste continues to enter our waterways at an alarming rate raising consumer concerns and escalating public debate. Fact is, this waste more than likely ends up at your facility. And, although hospitals are at fault, you are getting part of the blame.
