VALORMED IS A NON-PROFIT COMPANY THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING THE WASTE OF EMPTY PACKAGING AND OUT-OF-USE AND EXPIRED MEDICINES OF DOMESTIC ORIGIN THROUGH SIGREM (INTEGRATED PACKAGING AND MEDICINE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM).
Established in 1999, it arose from collaboration between the most representative associations of companies in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical distributors and community pharmacies in view of their awareness of the specificity of medicine as waste.
The existence of a management system for this type of waste responded to the urgent challenge of implementing an autonomous system for collecting and treating pharmaceutical waste, leading to a safe collection and treatment process, preventing them from being “accessible” like any other urban waste, contributing to the preservation of the environment and protection of public health.
VALORMED's intervention extends to the entire continental territory and islands and covers packaging waste from medicines for human use, whether or not containing medicine remains, packaging waste from medicines for veterinary use, whether or not containing medicine remains, and veterinary products for domestic animals sold in Community Pharmacies and Places for the Sale of Non-Prescription Medicines (LVMNSRM), produced by end consumers and collected through participating Community Pharmacies and LVMNSRM, and by waste packaging for veterinary use (MV's), containing or not residues of medicines and, additionally, products for veterinary use (PV's), collected through participating Veterinary Reception Centers.
With a share capital of 30,000 euros, the company VALORMED is made up of the main agents in the medicine chain, and are represented by their corporate associations, namely, the Portuguese Pharmaceutical Industry Association (APIFARMA), the National Pharmacy Association ( ANF ) , the Association of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Wholesalers ( GROQUIFAR ) and the Association of Pharmaceutical Distributors ( ADIFA ).
VALORMED is supervised by the Portuguese Environment Agency ( APA ) and General Directorate of Economic Activities ( DGAE ), and is licensed by the Ministries of Economy and Environment, to manage the Integrated Medicine Packaging Waste Management System (SIGREM) .
