We Have You Covered
Preventing illegal diversion or complying with USP <800>, RxCarbon and RxCarbon Poly will prevent pharmaceutical waste from entering the environment.
RxCarbon is used inside existing sharps, RCRA hazardous, and non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste containers, preventing illicit diversion of pharmaceuticals.
RxCarbon Poly protects surfaces from HD/oncology liquid contamination during:
1. Shipping
2. Storage
3. Compounding
4. Infusion
5. Spills

Protect surfaces for USP <800> compliance
RxCarbon Poly is for you.
RxCarbon Poly prevents hazardous drug surface contamination by sequestering and adsorbing hazardous drugs with activated carbon. Use RxCarbon Poly to reduce hazardous drug exposure risks associated with surface contamination, and as a wipe for spills.
Protect your employees, patients, and the environment.
Use RxCarbon Poly as a Wipe
Don’t just absorb HD spills
Deactivate them with RxCarbon Poly Wipes
Contains proprietary activated Carbon RP718, which is proven to adsorb and deactivate hazardous drugs
Peace of Mind
Adopt a policy of squirting excess controlled substances on an RxCarbon Pad to eliminate the problem of nefarious diversion. Place RxCarbon Pad on surface or in a regulated waste container in every room controlled substances are administered.
Eliminate Controlled Substance Diversion
RxCarbon Pad sequesters and aDsorbs controlled substances with layers of our proprietary RP718 activated carbon.
EPA & DEA Compliant
In the 2022 EPA sponsored study, titled A 10-Step Blueprint for Managing Pharmaceutical Waste in US Healthcare Facilities, (PDF available at https://hercenter.org/10_step_blueprint_guide_final_9-22.pdf) it states if a syringe is not emptied by administering its contents, then the unadministered medication may also be emptied onto a carbon sequestration pad in the appropriate pharmaceutical waste container. (Study available at https://www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/management-hazardous-waste-pharmaceuticals)
Place RxCarbon Pads in your existing Hazardous Waste Containers, or simply purchase containers already equipped with RxCarbon Pads.
Use Existing Containers
RxCarbon Pad is used inside existing sharps,
RCRA hazardous, and non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste containers as a failsafe method of protecting the environment and eliminating illegal diversion.
Absorbent & Adsorbent
RxCarbon Pad is a patent pending, low cost, absorbent pad, sandwiched by our RP718 adsorbent activated carbon layers.
Activated carbon holds on to drugs and doesn’t let go!
Responsible
Protect your employees, your patients, the environment. RxCarbon Pad eliminates pharmaceuticals from entering our drinking water.
Compliant
Comply with EPA new regulations banning drain disposal of hazardous drugs and suggested banning of sewer disposal of all drugs and comply with USP <800> protecting against hazardous drug contamination and exposure.
Keep Doing It
Regardless of which pharmaceutical disposal device or option you are currently using, you can ensure that all controlled substances are deactivated and sequestered, even if nurses and doctors choose to squirt them into the most available container.
Why?
When it comes to pharma waste disposal, the ‘dirty little secret’ is: healthcare practitioners already squirt excess pharma waste into sharps containers. Why? Because it’s logical, it makes sense, it’s safer and it’s intuitive.
About Us
Waste & Compliance Management Inc. (WCM) has been in business since 2003. We manufacture products that make regulated waste compliance, easy and inexpensive. We started with 3 products and have organically grown to about a dozen different products under the WasteWise® brand. We saw the problem of nefarious diversion of narcotic waste and surface contamination by hazardous oncology liquids, and felt that developing a product to solve these problems was a natural extension of our product line. This led to the development of RxCarbon; an inexpensive and common sense solution to USP <800>, OSHA, EPA and DEA compliance.
The RxCarbon Story
We wanted a product to eliminate nefarious diversion of narcotics. We chose a proven method of deactivating narcotics and hazardous pharmacology, we just wanted to use it in a more sensible way than it was currently being used i.e. a central disposal location using a separate container. We didn’t want a ‘me too’ product. We were not going to settle for anything less than a unique product that was easy to use, inexpensive, compliant, intuitive and utilized containers already being used for regulated waste… READ MORE
