<p class="xmsonormal" style="background:white"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk536510221"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">On February 22, 2019, EPA finalized tailored and streamlined standards for managing hazardous waste pharmaceuticals that reduce the cost and
compliance burden for the healthcare sector while ensuring the safe management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. These changes provide regulatory certainty and national consistency on how the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) applies to the reverse
distribution of prescription pharmaceuticals while incorporating flexibilities to accommodate current business practices. <br>
<br>
With this rule EPA is also taking a common-sense regulatory approach to the disposal of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapies (i.e., patches, gums and lozenges), which will no longer be considered hazardous
waste when discarded.<br>
<br>
Join us for a webinar to learn more about these regulatory changes.<br>
<br>
Please see EPA's website for this rule for more information and to access additional resources:
