A new recycling solution has been launched to help dental practices become more sustainable and reduce the amount of waste which is sent to landfills and incineration.

International recycling company TerraCycle has released the ClinicCycle solution to provide the medical industry with a convenient and simple to implement solution to recycle their hard-to-recycle non-hazardous waste.

From disposable PPE to plastic packaging and oral care waste, ClinicCycle provides a tailored solution adapted to each type of business in the medical industry, including dental practices, orthodontists, and hospitals.

The medical industry produces a substantial amount of hard to recycle non-hazardous waste that mostly ends up in landfills. According to the NHS, it is estimated that 156,000 tonnes of clinical waste are generated annually by the NHS alone, which is either sent to high temperature incineration or for alternative treatment.
