Several products have achieved the Eco-Dentistry Association's (EDA) newly created EDA Accepted Seal for products and services that meet specific environmental criteria, the organization announced.
The product lines announced at the ADA annual session last month include:
- everLight operatory light, for its waste reduction, pollution prevention, and
energy conservation - RAMVAC waterless vacuum, for water conservation
- CustomAir LubeFree compressor, for pollution prevention and energy conservation
- UltraLeather eco-friendly upholstery, for pollution prevention
Transcendentist (Green Dentistry by Discus)
- Reusable cloth sterilization pouches and wraps, for waste reduction and
pollution prevention - Joysence aromatherapy, for waste reduction, pollution prevention, and
wellness dentistry - Reusable cloth infection control barriers, for waste reduction and pollution prevention
- Enzymax Earth ultrasonic solution, for pollution prevention
- Team Vista water line cleaner, for pollution prevention
- Environdent instrument recycling, for waste reduction
"The most common question we're asked at the EDA is: 'What products should I buy?' " Those products featuring the EDA Accepted Seal are immediately recognizable to the burgeoning market of dental professionals who are going green," remarked EDA Director Susan Beck in a press release.
Once a product or service is confirmed as EDA Accepted, the manufacturer will receive an electronic version of the EDA Accepted Seal, which may be used on any marketing, advertising, and packaging materials, such as catalogs, websites, and product packaging. The manufacturer can then promote the product or service's eco-friendly benefits with the added credential of the EDA Accepted Seal.
