										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We understand that even the most successful dental offices can feel the financial squeeze that often just results from running a business. Whether it&#8217;s taxes, association fees, the price of property management, or, in this case, compliance, the costs of running a business can add up quickly. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s why DRNA delivers cost-saving solutions that keep you compliant without breaking the bank. Frankly, the cost of non-compliance far outweighs the expenditure associated with proper dental recycling products and procedures. </span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more and find out how you can start taking advantage of these cost savings while staying compliant…</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1><span style="font-weight: 400;">DRNA: Where Compliance Meets Savings</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With DRNA, you can stay compliant while seriously saving on proper disposal and recycling of your office’s amalgam waste. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not only will you save by avoiding the big box retail prices, but we’ve also eliminated the need for a middleman which cuts down on costs even further. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why Compliance Matters with Respect to Amalgam Recycling</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With all the considerations about compliance and its associated costs, we think it&#8217;s worth a reminder about why amalgam recycling is subject to EPA-backed regulations. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consider the following facts about dental offices and mercury, as listed on the </span><a href="https://www.epa.gov/eg/dental-effluent-guidelines"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EPA’s Dental Effluent Guidelines webpage</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dental clinics are the main source of mercury discharges to POTWs (publicly owned treatment works)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Approximately 103,000 U.S.-based dental offices use or remove amalgam and the wastewater ends up in POTWs</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Total mercury discharged by dentists annually amounts to approximately 5.1 tons into POTWs, the majority of which finds its way into the larger environment</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember, </span><a href="https://scdhec.gov/environment/your-home/mercury/health-risks-mercury#:~:text=All%20Mercury%20is%20Toxic&amp;text=Depending%20on%20the%20type%20and,the%20lungs%20to%20the%20bloodstream."><span style="font-weight: 400;">mercury is a neurotoxin</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which can cause damage to the immune system, kidneys, liver, lungs, and nervous system. In other words, we don’t want this in our bodies, or our fragile environment where anyone could suffer exposure, unknowingly. </span></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Non-Compliance Will Cost You</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The fact is failure to comply with the </span><a href="https://www.epa.gov/eg/dental-effluent-guidelines"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EPA’s Dental Effluent Guidelines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, also known as the Amalgam Rule, can result in MAJOR fines as outlined by the Clean Water Act.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While some states, like New York, publish strict rules regarding the timing and frequency of recycling requirements, others are more vague. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For that reason, our team recommends annual recycling or as soon as your amalgam receptacle is full… and doing so couldn’t be easier with DRNA. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simply </span></i><a href="https://drna.com/contact/"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">contact David Piccone directly</span></i></a><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to take advantage of DRNA’s cost-savings compliance solutions! </span></i></p>
