Mitigard is dedicated to minimizing waste and diverting valuable materials away from landfills through practical, sustainable solutions. We work with businesses, organizations, and communities to identify opportunities to reduce waste at the source, increase recycling and reuse, and implement smarter material management practices.

Pharmaceutical Product Destruction

Proper destruction of pharmaceutical products is vital to ensure safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility. Mitigard follows strict protocols to securely and efficiently destroy expired, recalled, or damaged medications, in line with all regulatory standards.
Why It’s Important
Improper disposal can pose risks to public health, the environment, and your company’s reputation. Effective destruction prevents counterfeit medications from reentering the supply chain and ensures no unsafe products make it to the market.

Our Process

  • Regulatory Compliance: We follow FDA, DEA, and EPA guidelines, adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for every destruction step.
  • Secure Destruction Methods:
    • Incineration: High-temperature destruction to eliminate all harmful substances.
    • Shredding: Rendering products unusable before disposal.
    • Chemical Deactivation: For hazardous materials, we use chemical processes to neutralize products.
  • Environmental Responsibility: We prioritize eco-friendly methods, minimizing environmental impact while working with certified disposal partners to ensure proper waste management.
  • Documentation: All destruction activities are recorded and reported, providing clients with detailed reports for transparency and audit readiness.
  • Secure Transport: Products are transported in tamper-proof containers to prevent theft or misuse.

Manufacturing Product Destruction

By conducting waste assessments and developing customized diversion strategies, we help ensure that recyclable and recoverable materials are properly sorted and redirected to responsible processing facilities. This reduces landfill reliance, lowers environmental impact, and supports a more circular approach to resource use.

Mitigard also focus on education and ongoing support, empowering our partners to make informed decisions about waste reduction and long-term sustainability. Through thoughtful planning, waste diversion, and continuous improvement, we help protect natural ecosystems, reduce pollution, and contribute to a healthier environment for future generations.

Supporting Scope 3 Emissions Tracking and Reporting

    Mitigard helps organizations understand, track, and report Scope 3 emissions by focusing on waste-related and material management impacts across the value chain. Scope 3 emissions often represent the largest and most complex portion of an organization’s carbon footprint, and accurate data is essential for meeting sustainability goals and reporting requirements.

We support clients by collecting and organizing waste and diversion data, identifying emission sources associated with landfill disposal, recycling, composting, and material recovery, and translating this information into usable emissions metrics. By improving data accuracy and transparency, we help organizations strengthen their sustainability reporting, comply with regulatory and voluntary frameworks, and set measurable reduction targets.

Through waste minimization and diversion strategies, we also help reduce Scope 3 emissions at the source—lowering landfill-related methane emissions and decreasing the need for virgin material production. Our approach combines practical waste solutions with credible data insights, enabling organizations to reduce environmental impact while confidently reporting progress toward climate and sustainability commitments.
