  2. Keeping Staff & Patients Safer While Lowering Pharma Waste Costs


The Pharmasmart system dramatically reduces pharmaceutical waste disposal costs by re-classifying non-hazardous waste.

 

Improperly disposed pharmaceutical waste poses a threat to staff, patients, and our environment. The Pharmasmart is America’s leading non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste container designed with inbuilt permanent security locks, manufactured with anti-shatter material, and locking wall brackets that prevent unauthorized removal or retrieval of substances.   

In many healthcare facilities, all pharmaceutical waste is disposed of as RCRA hazardous - the most expensive waste disposal method of all healthcare waste streams. Additionally, rarely are RCRA containers designed with clinically-appropriate safety or security mechanisms, putting the facility at risk of unauthorized drug-retrieval. 

 

The Daniels Pharmasmart provides healthcare facilities with not only heightened drug safety and security protocols, but significant opportunities for cost savings. Here's how :

  1. Less than 90% of all pharmaceutical waste is non-hazardous
  2. The RCRA hazardous waste stream costs a minimum 100% more to dispose of than non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste
  3. Non-Hazardous pharmaceutical waste can be compliantly treated through a normal medical waste incinerator, RCRA Hazardous waste must be treated at a premium through a licensed hazardous waste incinerator
  4.  As all RCRA Hazardous containers are disposable, each container fill incurs a disposal cost for the container plastic, plus avoidable landfill burden.
  5. By diverting 90% of waste from RCRA black bins into reusable Pharmasmart containers, significant cost savings will be realized

 

Non-compliant pharmaceutical waste disposal can result in hefty fines through non-compliance and public relations crisis. Our clinically-engineered safety containers, together with bespoke education, training, waste audits, and reporting all collectively drive best practice pharmaceutical waste management compliance.

Reduce your Costs

Adopting a hazardous vs non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste program can save your facility thousands of dollars each year.

In many hospitals and healthcare facilities across America, between 50% to 90% of the “black bin” waste being generated is actually non-hazardous pharmaceuticals, and yet it’s being disposed into a hazardous waste bin! 

Over-classification of pharmaceutical waste significantly impacts:

1. Increases of more than 200% in waste disposal costs
2. Increased environmental burden with one vs two waste streams
3. Unauthorized retrieval with the use of non-tamperproof containers
