The CHALLENGE
A leading pharmaceutical manufacturer was disposing of all API-contaminated materials – including powders, blister packs, PPE, and packaging – in a single high-cost hazardous waste stream.
The cost? Too high. The process? Untouched for years.
Every material, regardless of actual risk, was being treated as the most hazardous – driving up waste costs unnecessarily.

The Axil Approach
- We conducted a full review of the site’s API-contaminated waste.
- We identified where we could safely segregate high-risk API solid powders from lower-risk items like empty blister packs, PPE, and packaging.
- We avoided segregation in high-hazard and controlled drug areas to ensure compliance and safety.
To support this, we:
- Introduced a colour-coded container system for simple, clear segregation.
- Delivered targeted training to ensure all departments and teams understood and adopted the new process.
This isn’t a one-off. It’s a transferable solution.
WHY IT MATTERS
Axil takes this same approach across all sectors, challenging legacy processes, going deeper into waste streams, and delivering bespoke, compliant solutions that make a measurable impact.
We don’t accept “this is how we’ve always done it.”
If there’s a better way – we’ll find it.
