Published on August 10, 2018.-

Medicines are relevant to the treatment of many diseases, so when they are no longer needed, it is important to dispose of them properly to reduce damage to the environment from accidental exposure or intentional misuse.

In this matter, the Hidronor company solves this problem, through the management of out-of-standard products, which consists in the rendering of expired, in poor condition or defective products, which are destroyed in a safe way, which allows us to deliver a benefit for the community and the environment.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) periodically holds National Drug Disposal Day events where collection sites are established in communities across the country for the safe disposal of expired drugs.
