4. Question: What is the difference between medical waste, pharmaceutical waste, and discarded drugs and medications?

Medical waste primarily consists of infectious, traumatic, pathological, chemical, and pharmaceutical waste generated by medical institutions; it falls under category HW01. Pharmaceutical waste, on the other hand, comes from the production of chemical drug active ingredients, the formulation of drugs, the manufacture of veterinary drugs, and the production of biological drugs; it belongs to category HW02. Waste drugs and pharmaceutical products refer to expired, deteriorated, substandard, obsolete, or fake chemical and biological substances that arise from sales and use in various industries; for example, expired drugs from pharmacies fall under category HW03.
