VIDU INTRAORAL ELASTICS - PLASTIC NEUTRAL CERTIFIED - ZERO PLASTIC FOOTPRINT

Vidu intraoral elastics are packaged in bags and in a practical, fully recyclable box. Unfortunately, elastics are non-recyclable products and for hygienic and sanitary reasons it is difficult to find an alternative in another material. VIDU works to always offer the most responsible solution and, while maintaining the necessary hygienic qualities in the clinic, always seeks a balance between fair price and care for the planet.

In the case of intra-oral elastics, while working on researching alternative solutions, they have reached an agreement with The Gravity Wave whereby every month the same amount of plastic is collected from the Mediterranean Sea, its coasts and harbours.

How to manage the waste generated in the clinic with the use of intraoral elastics?

• ¿Cómo reciclar los elásticos intraorales?

Unfortunately, intraoral elastics 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 elastics come in a plastic bag which is completely recyclable, these bags come in a cardboard box. Once the product is finished, the cardboard part goes into the blue bin while the plastic part goes into the yellow bin.

Where do these Vidu intraoral elastics 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 intraoral elastics, they are manufactured in China.
