Pharmaceuticals and sharps are a significant public health and safety risk when improperly disposed of, which is why California passed SB 212<https://us13.mailchimp.com/mctx/click?url=https%3A%2F%2Fleginfo.legislature.ca.gov%2Ffaces%2FbillTextClient.xhtml%3Fbill_id%3D201720180SB212&xid=46314697eb&uid=55661209&pool=&subject=> to require the producers of these products to fund and operate a take-back program statewide. Learn from the experts who have passed producer responsibility legislation for medications and/or medical sharps at the local and state level, and learn how any city, county, or state can achieve EPR for meds and sharps. You will also hear from a cutting edge medical waste company that is using ozone to treat medical waste!
