It becomes more challenging, mainly, in the background of supply chains of perishable products. The pharmaceutical medicines are time perishable which plays an important role in order to cure, prevent and diagnose human disease and keep people healthy. It is important issue that the disposal of pharmaceutical medicines to the environment and it requires special handling to dispose. Pharmaceutical medicine waste is a form of medical waste that includes unused or expired household medications.
