In September, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published a proposed rule that addresses hazardous waste pharmaceuticals generated or managed by healthcare facilities.
According to an article on the Lexology website, requirements for healthcare facilities managing potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals include waste determinations.
Facilities must determine if their potentially creditable solid waste pharmaceuticals are listed or characteristic hazardous wastes. If so, those wastes are classified as potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals, the article said.
Alternatively, healthcare facilities can manage all potentially creditable solid waste pharmaceuticals as potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals.
