Re: most drugstores in Ji'nan fail to recover permanent drugs and are difficult to deal with. It is urgent to establish a unified recycling mechanism.
according to the public data of the Municipal Food and drug administration, in 2016, the total number of expired drugs in the city reached 30 tons. But Liu Yanhui said that at present, the drugs collected by the gargle civilian stores are stored in their own storeroom, because the enterprises can not do harmless destruction by themselves, and they need the supervision of qualified enterprises and environmental protection departments.
expired drug "destruction is difficult" is a universal problem. According to media reports, the reclaimed drug recycling boxes in some communities in Beijing have been stuffed up and can only be stored in the office of the neighborhood committee. The enterprises that recycle drugs have already closed down and the management has not been able to move. At present, the current situation of overdue drug recovery in China is partial and commonweal.
Guangyao group, which is committed to the recovery of family expired drugs, recently held the "expired drug recycling 15th anniversary" activity in Ji'nan. Chen Zhizhao, the Minister of the marketing planning department of the Guangyao group, said that, since 2004, enterprises began to carry out the public welfare activities of the family overdue drug recovery, with an average of tens of millions of yuan per year, and about 122 tons of overdue drugs collected in all cities in the country on average. The treatment of expired drugs by the Guangyao group is now the same as the treatment standard for medical waste, that is, to find local qualified processing companies in each area for innocuous treatment. For example, burning at high temperature costs about 12000 yuan per ton, and this does not include the human input of the enterprise itself.
"now there are very few enterprises involved in recycling, and the cost of destroying them is too expensive to become a bottleneck for enterprises to continue the public welfare undertaking." Chen Zhizhao said.
for the drugstore, if you want to arouse the enthusiasm of the public, it is inevitable to launch a variety of preferential activities or gifts, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of operation, and the cost of storage and transportation is also not small pressure. D
is faced with the requirements of "two Dao", "unidentified" and "system deletion
". Although the national hazardous waste list has included family overdue drugs as an important source of environmental pollution, the "list of hazardous waste exemption" stipulates, "the waste drugs produced by the family and their packages." In the case of unclassified collection, the whole process is not managed by hazardous waste; for example, the collection process is not managed according to the hazardous waste, but the hazardous waste is still required to be managed in the transport, storage and disposal. "
that is to say, the family overdue drugs are basically not managed according to the hazardous waste at the moment in China, and even the overdue drugs are not included in the medical waste management regulations and the medical waste management measures.
professor Wang Yue, a professor of medical humanities at Peking University, said the proportion of overdue drugs in China is very low, which is closely related to the common phenomenon of drug waste. "Now our country may be treated correctly for about 20% of the expired drugs." The proportion is too low. " In his view, we should establish a system for recovering the expired drugs from the system and establish a separate packaging system for drugs.
"I prefer to recover the expired drugs through the pharmacy windows of pharmacies and medical institutions, and the corresponding reward mechanism should be set up. The bonus can be obtained by extracting a certain proportion of the amount of drug sold by a drug manufacturer, setting up a reclaim fund for overdue drugs, and then using the fund to reward the people who can take the expired drugs to the pharmacy and hospital pharmacy windows to recover. Wang Yue said.
it is good to be pleased that in 2017, the director of the Chemical Department of the Ministry of environmental protection of the Ministry of environmental protection of the Ministry of environmental protection told the media that the Ministry of environmental protection would cooperate with the relevant departments of the food and Drug Administration and the Health Planning Commission to establish a unified national overdue drug recovery mechanism as soon as possible, to improve the relevant laws and regulations, and to ensure the health and the ring of the human body. Security of the border.
