Do You Support Sustainable Development in Dentistry?
DRNA is proud to launch our Sustainable Development in Dentistry certification program, which will celebrate those dental practitioners who believe in Sustainable Development and follow the regulations supporting it.
What is Sustainable Development?
Our Sustainable Development Program is designed to support and recognize dentists and their practices that are engaging in activities that support the greater mission of sustainable waste recycling within the industry.
Why Does DRNA Support Sustainable Development?
Human health, ultimately, hinges on the health of our environment. We are committed to the overall mission of the program.
On a global scale, we are committed to enhancing human health and safety worldwide by upholding the requirements and guidelines presented by the Minamata Convention, which calls for the eventual phase-out or reduction of mercury used in dental amalgam, along with strategies for safer storage and disposal.
“SDI is committed to ongoing sustainability and environmentally responsible practices and this initiative provides dental offices with a terrific opportunity to access and utilize DRNA’s leading sustainable solutions, whilst providing SDI with the opportunity to promote, educate and raise sustainability awareness directly with our North American customers.”
– Adrian Atyimas, Sales Manager, SDI (NORTH AMERICA) INC.
