Who is affected by the hazardous waste pharmaceuticals rule?

Healthcare facilities and reverse distributors that generate and manage hazardous waste pharmaceuticals will follow the tailored standards for managing their hazardous waste pharmaceuticals at 40 CFR 266 Subpart P instead of the industry-oriented hazardous waste generator regulations.

The rule does not apply to pharmaceutical manufacturers (unless they act as reverse distributors), production facilities, or other generators of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals.
