Soft Gelatin Waste

Free

Soft gelatin waste, often referred to as soft gelatin capsule waste, is the byproduct or waste material generated during the production of soft gelatin capsules. Soft gelatin capsules are a common pharmaceutical dosage form used to encapsulate liquid or semi-solid medications. The manufacturing process of these capsules generates waste materials that need to be managed properly.

Sources of Soft Gelatin Waste:

  • Soft gelatin waste is generated at various stages of capsule production, including:
    • Excess gelatin and capsule shell material that is trimmed or cut during the encapsulation process.
    • Reject capsules that do not meet quality standards and are considered waste.
    • Cleaning residues and materials from equipment used in the manufacturing process.

Pharmaceutical Waste Management:

  • Soft gelatin waste is just one category of pharmaceutical waste. Proper management of all types of pharmaceutical waste, including hazardous and non-hazardous materials, is essential for public health and environmental protection.
