Pharmaceutical Manufacturers 

Looking for a single vendor to handle
all pharmaceuticals and controlled substances? 

 

Sharpsmart’s expertise in pharmaceutical waste management extends to direct large-scale specialist collections of pharmaceutical product from pharmaceutical manufacturers. With safe and cost effective energy-from-waste solutions in place for the disposal of non-hazardous pharmaceuticals, Sharpsmart can offer environmentally friendly solutions for the collection, transportation and disposal of pharmaceuticals whilst protecting the brand and risk profile of UK businesses. 

 

Sharpsmart is focused on the Protection of our customers’ brand

Working with pharmaceutical distributors, drug manufacturers and large facilities disposing of expired or unused medications, our focus is always the mitigation of risks for the brands and healthcare facilities we partner with. Our national collection, treatment and disposal services are designed to provide full traceability and proof of destruction for all pharmaceuticals including bulk expired medications, recalled or damaged product, narcotics, cytotoxic waste and injectables. 

 

We are passionate about green technology 

As a company, Sharpsmart are passionate about innovation that lessens environmental impact, and our pharmaceutical collection solutions are demonstrative of this. In contrast to standard industry methods that utilise clinical waste incineration to dispose of non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste, our green approach takes high temperature incineration out of the treatment cycle, and replaces it with an energy recovery solution that generates electricity for local communities. All waste is treated in accordance with the waste hierarchy, enabling a green treatment solution that is not only cost effective, but also reduces burden on the environment.

"Over and above service..."

We are more than happy to work with Sharpsmart. Nothing is a problem and this was recently demonstrated when one of our terminally ill patients wanted to be treated at home. We could not have done this without Sharpsmart who provided us with the necessary equipment, out of hours so the patient could have their wish list.
