Solutions for Pharmaceutical Industry Manufacturing and Waste Management

Pharmaceuticals

Partnering with Pharmaceutical Companies

The Amlon Group partners with pharmaceutical manufacturers to implement forward-thinking waste management practices that embody our vision of converting environmental obstacles into sustainable advantages while maintaining the highest regulatory compliance standards.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

Pharmaceutical operations generate complex waste streams requiring expert handling, particularly from drug manufacturing processes, research and development activities, and regulatory compliance requirements. Our integrated approach addresses both disposal and reclamation challenges.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Waste Disposal

We provide comprehensive disposal services for complex pharmaceutical waste streams:

Expired Medication Management: Secure destruction of expired pharmaceuticals, off-specification batches, and recalled products through advanced pyrolysis technology
Controlled Substance Disposal: DEA-compliant destruction services with witness burn capabilities for narcotics and controlled pharmaceutical substances
Contaminated Materials Processing: Safe handling of drug preparation materials, PPE, IV tubing, and manufacturing equipment contaminated with pharmaceutical compounds
Failed Batch Destruction: Complete destruction of production failures and quality control rejects with comprehensive documentation

Pharmaceutical Catalyst Recovery and Processing

Our facilities recover valuable materials from pharmaceutical manufacturing operations:

Heterogeneous Catalyst Processing: Recovery of platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium from pharmaceutical synthesis catalysts used in hydrogenation and asymmetric synthesis
Homogeneous Catalyst Recovery: Advanced separation techniques for dissolved precious metal catalysts from pharmaceutical reaction solutions and crystallization mothers
API Manufacturing Waste: Processing of active pharmaceutical ingredient production residues containing valuable metal catalysts
R&D Laboratory Samples: Secure processing of research materials, experimental catalysts, and development samples containing precious metals

Process Equipment and Infrastructure Recovery

Our capabilities extend to pharmaceutical production equipment:

Reactor Vessel Processing: Recovery of precious metals from pharmaceutical reactors, crystallizers, and specialized manufacturing equipment
Filtration Media Recovery: Processing of spent filters and membrane systems from pharmaceutical purification and sterile filtration operations
Ion Exchange Resin Processing: Specialized handling of spent resins from pharmaceutical water purification and drug separation processes
Laboratory Equipment Recovery: Reclamation of precious metals from analytical instruments, research equipment, and quality control systems
