Cytotoxic Waste

To safeguard the well-being of both those tasked with handling it and the environment, it is imperative that your business properly disposes of any cytotoxic or cytostatic waste it generates. Given its inherent potential for harm, it is not only a legal obligation but also a moral imperative for your business to take responsible measures in the storage, collection, and disposal of such waste.

Cytotoxic Waste Disposal

There are two distinct categories of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste, Medicinal products falling under this classification are characterised by their toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity. These pharmaceuticals are primarily employed in the treatment of conditions like cancer. This category encompasses expired or leftover medications, which can take various forms, such as tablets, liquids or creams.

Contaminated waste is another significant component of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste. This category encompasses any items or materials that have come into contact with these potent medications. For example, it includes gloves or garments worn by healthcare professionals when handling such drugs. The reason for classifying these items as cytotoxic and cytostatic waste is the inherent danger associated with exposure to these medications.
