Does your company meet the definition of a covered entity?

(Produces, sells, or distributes covered Rx, OTC, or sharps products in jurisdictions with producer-funded mandated take-back programs for pharmaceutical products which generate household waste)

Your company likely has compliance obligations. There are two options to meet your compliance obligations:

1. Set up own program which meets all requirements of the law/mandate. Or

2. Join a stewardship organization such as PPSWG. 

Your company likely does not have compliance obligations for which it needs support.
