Pharmaceutical industry waste management is a critical aspect in maintaining environmental and public health. Waste from the pharmaceutical industry includes potentially hazardous solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes. Various management methods have been developed, such as inertization, safe stockpiling, incineration, encapsulation, and deep burial for solid waste; chemical disinfection, sewer disposal, and treatment in wastewater treatment plants for liquid waste; and waste gas treatment technologies for gaseous waste. In Indonesia, PT Indofarma Tbk in Bekasi has implemented various stages of waste management, including reduction, reuse, containerization and collection, internal transportation, internal treatment, temporary storage, external transportation, and outplant treatment.
