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

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. The increased environmental burden with one vs two waste streams
  3. Unauthorized retrieval with the use of non-tamperproof containers
