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

• How to recycle elastic ligatures?

Unfortunately, elastic ligatures 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 elastic ties is made of recyclable (HDPE) plastic and it is that easy:

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

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