Does your company meet the definition of a covered entity?
Does your company produce, sell, or distribute covered Rx, OTC, or sharps products in jurisdictions with producer-funded, mandated take-back programs for pharmaceutical products which generate household waste?
Your company may have compliance obligations. There are two options to meet such obligations:
- A company may set up its own independent program which meets all requirements of the law/mandate; or
- A company may join a stewardship organization such as PPSWG.
If you believe your company may have compliance obligations and you’re ready to take the next steps, speak with us today.
Your company may not have compliance obligations for which it needs support. Have questions or want to confirm this is correct? Speak to a PPSWG compliance expert today.
