FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp., the nation’s best-in-class provider of pharmacy services, announces a strategic partnership with CACTUS, LLC., the creator and manufacturer of the Healthcare Industry’s Uniquely-Compliant Disposal System for dispensed but unused drugs.

“EXP has seen the increasing need among our many customers for compliant pharmaceutical waste disposal. CACTUS Smart Sink addresses that need; and we are very excited to offer a solution that will empower our clients to secure and dispose of raw pharmaceutical waste in a compliant, safe and comprehensive manner”

The EXP / CACTUS partnership stems from both companies’ recognition of the industry’s need for an effective solution that will enable healthcare entities to properly capture, secure and dispose of raw pharmaceutical waste including controlled substances.

“EXP has seen the increasing need among our many customers for compliant pharmaceutical waste disposal. CACTUS Smart Sink addresses that need; and we are very excited to offer a solution that will empower our clients to secure and dispose of raw pharmaceutical waste in a compliant, safe and comprehensive manner”, said Gus Changaris, EXP’s Chief Executive Officer.

Through this partnership, EXP will offer the nation’s only secured and self-contained system rendering raw pharmaceutical waste acutely unrecoverable and unusable. This disposal solution is attained through the CACTUS Smart Sink. “Recent surveys indicate a growing problem within the healthcare industry for proper pharmaceutical waste disposal.
