Finally, we’ve been able to get our hands on these recyclable brush heads from LiveCoco. We’ve been offering our recycling service for manual toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and packaging for a while now but many of our patients are using Oral B electric brushes, whose heads we can’t recycle.
The move towards recycling and sustainability in the dental market has been gathering momentum lately – it’s great to note that things are improving, especially as we are seeing more and more waste created by the need to use more disposable PPE/consumables in the delivery of healthcare. We’re working harder than ever to try and minimise our impact on waste at Coppice View but Covid-19 has really set us back a long way. As such, we’re delighted to try and highlight other areas where we can all make a small difference.
We’ve got some in for you to try and our video here gives you my thoughts on this recyclable head as an option.
