Field of Activity

Pharmaceuticals and drug raw materials

We manage the end-to-end waste disposal of expired, cold-chain-compromised, quality-defective, or recalled pharmaceuticals — controlled, fully traceable, and compliant with the Regulation on the Withdrawal of Human Medicinal Products and Foods for Special Medical Purposes.

Overview

Pharmaceutical disposal is no ordinary waste job

In the pharmaceutical sector, waste disposal is one of the most sensitive processes due to patient & brand safety, misuse risk, and strict regulation. Careless disposal of expired, cold-chain-compromised, quality-defective, or recalled products creates both legal liability and brand reputation risk. Scrap carries out this process with licensed vehicles & facilities, in a recorded, controlled, and documented manner.

Properly structured waste disposal reduces the tax base through a written-off goods record, eliminates the risk of counterfeit and grey-market circulation, and protects companies during GMP and audit processes. Every stage, from request to official record, is traceable through the Online Tracking System.

Process

From request to social project in 6 steps

Every step is on record; your brand and regulatory compliance stay protected throughout the process.

1
Step 01

Request & Proposal

We start with the request form and an expert review; the product list, expiry dates, quantities and risk profile are analysed. Then we prepare and present your proposal.

2
Step 02

Official Application & Inspection

Once the waste code and the written-off goods structure are clear, we file the applications with the authorities and book the appointments. Inspections are completed with officials and recorded.

3
Step 03

Licensed Transport & Disposal

Medicines travel sealed in ADR-certified vehicles. At a Ministry of Environment-licensed facility they are disposed of or recycled by type, closing off any return to counterfeit or grey markets.
