市场洞察和分析师观点:
药物废物包括未使用的产品或已过有效期的药物。根据其化学成分,这种废物可分为危险废物和无危险废物。将药品分类为药品废物还取决于其是否对公共健康或环境构成风险。除了由于前面提到的原因留下的处方药之外,药物废物还包括制造过程中的剩余材料和非处方药品。推动药物废物处置和管理市场增长的关键因素包括政府加大力度促进医疗废物妥善处置,以及人们对药物废物的认识不断提高。然而,与药物废物处理相关的高成本阻碍了市场增长。
增长动力和限制:
医院、诊所和其他医疗机构产生大量废物。近年来,由于管理和处置不当对人类健康和环境构成越来越大的风险,政府大力推动医疗废物的适当处置。医疗机构的扩张和医疗废物产生的激增是导致医疗废物处理和管理产品及服务需求激增的两个主要因素。一些政府已采取措施,通过颁布保证医疗废物安全和适当处置的法律和政策来控制与医疗废物相关的问题。医疗废物一般需要根据这些规则进行妥善处置、包装、运输、处理和隔离。在美国,疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)、职业安全与健康管理局(OSHA)、美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)等机构制定了有关医疗废物的法规。 Title 49 CFR 是一项联邦法规,重点关注医疗废物法规、收集和处置流程,49 CFR 173.197 则重点关注受监管的医疗废物。
另一方面,整个处置过程的高成本是药品废物处置和管理业务的一个主要问题,影响着药品供应商、医疗机构和废物管理服务提供商。处置过程的每个步骤都伴随着高昂的成本,包括适当的废物包装、隔离、运输、处理、文书工作和合规性。此外,处置药物废物的高成本是由于专门协议的实施、监管合规性以及对可持续和道德废物管理技术的要求。
