VIDU ELASTIC CHAINS - PLASTIC NEUTRAL CERTIFIED - ZERO PLASTIC FOOTPRINT

LET'S BE PART OF THE CHANGE!

• Plastic Neutral. Certified by Gravity Wave.
• 100% recyclable packaging. In order to guarantee the highest quality and hygiene conditions, LDPE plastic has been used for the packaging of these chains. This plastic is 100% recyclable and can be recycled using the usual "Plastic containers, cans and bricks" recycling bin at the dental surgery.
• Online distribution. The marketing of these products is carried out via the internet, thus avoiding unnecessary transport and contamination.
• Fair price. By achieving a fair and reasonable price, we always seek to offer the easiest and least polluting recycling solution possible, guaranteeing the highest quality and hygienic conditions for the products.
• Responsible consumption. Do not use more chain than necessary!

How to manage the waste generated in the clinic with the use of elastic chains?

• How to recycle elastic chains?

Unfortunately, rubber chains are not recyclable. What is the reason for this? As they have been used in the mouth, they are considered as contaminated material with a potential biohazard. VIDU is working on the development of alternatives and new recycling channels for clinical waste. In the meantime, to compensate for the plastic footprint generated, VIDU, together with the Alicante-based start-up The Gravity Wave, collects the same amount of plastic from the Mediterranean Sea, its coasts and ports every month as it generates.

• How can the packaging of this product be recycled?

The packaging used for the stretch chains is made of recyclable (HDPE) plastic and it's that easy:

1. When you have used all the chains, place the wrapping in the yellow bucket or in the container where you usually store the "Plastic containers, cans and bricks" in the dental cllinic.
2. Once you have accumulated enough, dispose of it in the nearest recycling bin.

Where do these elastic chains from Vidu come from?

One of the brand's objectives is transparency, which is why the country of origin is always specified on the packaging of all products. It will vary from one product to another, always looking for the manufacturing conditions that ensure: Quality, sustainability and fair prices.

In the case of these elastic chains, they are manufactured in China.
