Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal
Safe, compliant destruction of expired, damaged, recalled, and unwanted pharmaceutical products
Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal
Pharmaceutical waste is one of the most tightly regulated waste categories in Kenya, and for good reason. Expired, damaged, or recalled medicines that are not properly destroyed can be diverted into the black market, contaminate water supplies, or cause serious harm to communities when dumped illegally. The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) and NEMA both impose clear obligations on facilities holding pharmaceutical products to ensure they are disposed of through licensed, documented channels.
Plenser provides a fully documented pharmaceutical waste disposal service for healthcare facilities, pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, and NGOs. From the moment your pharmaceutical waste is handed to us, it is tracked, manifested, incinerated, and certified — giving you the paper trail you need to demonstrate full regulatory compliance to the PPB and NEMA at any time.
