Dental waste streams
Identify, separate, and manage dental waste types to ensure compliance and environmental safety.
Amalgam waste
Amalgam waste includes amalgam fillings and mercury particles, needing careful disposal to avoid pollution.
Sharps waste
Sharps waste includes needles and blades, requiring sharps containers to prevent injury.
Gypsum-based waste
Gypsum-based waste is created from dental moulds that must be disposed of responsibly.
General waste
General waste covers non-hazardous, everyday waste such as office materials.
Dental plaster
Dental plaster waste refers to leftover plaster from moulds, requiring safe disposal.
Plastic waste
Plastic waste includes disposable plastic items; recycling helps reduce environmental impact.
Chemical waste
Chemical waste includes developer solutions, disinfectants, and composites.
Pharmaceutical waste
Pharmaceutical waste includes expired or unused medications and anaesthetics requiring special disposal.
Minimisation strategies for dental waste
Reduce waste, boost sustainability, and stay compliant with these straightforward waste minimisation strategies.
Implement amalgam separators
Installing amalgam separators captures and recycles mercury-containing dental amalgam, keeping it out of wastewater, a legal requirement for all dental practices.
Switch to digital imaging
Switching from traditional X-ray film to digital imaging reduces the need for film and chemicals, reducing chemical waste and silver contamination.
Buy in bulk and use dispensers
Purchasing items like fluoride gels in bulk reduces packaging waste, and using dispensers for soap and disinfectants avoids single-use packages.
