VIDU EXPANSION SCREW · PLASTIC NEUTRAL CERTIFIED · ZERO PLASTIC FOOTPRINT

Screws, once they have reached the end of their useful life, must be disposed of and incinerated. 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 screws, while Vidu works on researching alternative solutions, they have reached an agreement with RePurpose, an organization that has developed the largest certified network of plastic collection projects worldwide, according to which they collect, through the Nuevo Ciclo project in Colombia, the same amount of plastic that they generate.

How to manage the waste generated in the clinic with the use of expansion screws?

How to recycle expansion bolts?

Screws can be sterilized and recycled. Unfortunately, once they reach the end of their useful life, these cannot be recycled, as they are a product that must be incinerated. VIDU is working on developing alternatives and new recycling channels for waste generated in the clinic.
How to recycle the packaging of this product?

The plastic bag containing the screws is recyclable, as the packaging for this product is made of LDPE (Low-density Polyethylene) recyclable plastic and it's that easy:

Once you have used the expanding screw, place the bag in the yellow bin or the container where you usually store "Plastic containers, cans and cartons" in the dental clinic.
Once you have collected enough, deposit it in the nearest recycling container.

Where do expansion bolts come from?

One of the brand's objectives is transparency, so the country of origin is always specified on the packaging of all products. It will vary from product to product, always seeking manufacturing conditions that ensure: Quality, sustainability and fair price.

In the case of screws, they are manufactured in China.
