Structured waste management processes are implemented. Continual improvement initiatives are undertaken on the waste handling procedures.
As per the Cap 244, the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, Laws of Kenya, all pharmaceutical wastes must be handled responsibly owing to the security risk around pharmaceutical products. The pharmaceutical waste and other hazardous wastes are handled in accordance with the Environment Management and Coordination Act (EMCA), Waste Regulations of 2006.
The wastes are segregated, recorded, properly stored before they are disposed off. All wastes are disposed off using NEMA approved waste handlers for transportation and disposal sites. Waste recycling and reuse opportunities have been implemented for non-hazardous waste.
The central waste yard at Beta has been designed for more efficient handling and compliance to the Waste Management Regulations and to the Aspen standards for waste management.
