Medical & Pharmaceutical Waste Solutions for Third-Party Logistics Providers

Why 3PL Providers Must Prioritize Pharmaceutical Waste Compliance

Whether you serve pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmacies, or health systems, your warehouse may handle:

• Expired or returned medications from retail or hospital networks

• Schedule II–V controlled substances requiring DEA Form 41 or 222

• Damaged, repackaged, or mislabeled drug inventory

• Hazardous chemicals or solvents (if storing RCRA materials)

• Sharps, PPE, and contaminated packaging from fulfillment operations

Without proper documentation and disposal, 3PLs face:

• DEA violations and loss of licensing partnerships

• DOT penalties for unmanifested or incorrectly transported waste

• Contractual liability with clients and brand owners

• Reputational risk in pharmaceutical and medical supply chains

Easy RX Cycle serves as your behind-the-scenes partner, handling compliance logistics so you can stay focused on client delivery and operational excellence.
