PhRMA is the trade organization that represents the pharmaceutical
manufacturers:

I didn't find any policy statement regarding buy-back programs, etc. on
their website, but I admit that I did an extremely fast scan of it.

All,
One topic that I have not yet seen discussed on this listserver is the
pharmaceutical manufacturer industry.  Does anyone know any of the
following:
(1) What position(s) have pharmaceutical manufacturers taken on
residential waste pharmaceutical take-back programs, if any?
(2) Is there an industry organization?
(3) Does the industry have an environmental leader?
(4) Has anyone developed a productive relationship with a pharmaceutical

company in regard to waste issues (particularly residential wastes)?
(5) Are there any industry issues that folks interested in residential
waste pharmaceutical take-back should be aware of prior to initiating a
conversation with pharmaceutical manufacturers?
