Dental Waste Compliance

Dental clinics and surgeries produce a variety of different hazardous waste types that all need to be managed in the correct way, some of which may contain amalgam. Dentists and orthodontists are governed by strict legislation surrounding the safe management and disposal of dental waste due to its hazardous nature.

The correct disposal of dental waste is vital to ensure your business complies with The Environmental Protection Act 1990, Controlled Waste Regulations 2012 and the Hazardous Waste Directive 2011.

The Environmental Protection Act 1990 stipulates that all producers of waste have a Duty of Care to ensure that the correct and proper management of waste is performed ensuring hazardous waste does not cause pollution of the environment or harm to human health.
