Mark Topley explains how Go Practice Green can help your practice become more sustainable with minimal time, effort and disruption.
In the midst of the growing patient and employee demand for eco-responsibility, understanding sustainability is not just an ethical imperative – it’s a business one, too. ‘Go Practice Green’ is your new dental-specific sustainability platform. It’s a subscription based, online, self-paced platform to walk you step by step through a proven process to become a more sustainable practice.
Your practice faces numerous challenges every day, from tight budgets to the ever-ticking clock. The thought of adding another task to your list can seem daunting. Especially when shrouded in myths such as ‘sustainability will drain my time and funds’ or ‘our industry’s waste practices leave no room for green initiatives’.
‘Go Practice Green’ is here to shatter these misconceptions and show you the greener side of practice operations that won’t cost the Earth – literally or figuratively.
Eight spheres of sustainable influence
‘Go Practice Green’ focuses on eight key areas to make an impactful change without undue strain on resources:
- Biodiversity: this is about making efforts to increase and protect different types of plants and animals around your dental practice
- Carbon footprint: understanding and reducing the practice’s contribution to climate change by using less energy. Also, by adopting greener ways of working and travelling
- Communications: sharing information with your team, patients, and the local community about what your practice is doing to be more sustainable
- Management: this involves making sustainability a key part of how the practice is run. It can include both how decisions are made and how staff are involved
- Plastics: using less plastic in the practice and finding better alternatives that are not harmful to the environment
- Recycling: this involves setting up and following a system to separate and recycle different types of waste properly
- Reducing resources: this means using less water, energy and other materials to help conserve natural resources
- Supply chain: this is about choosing products and services for your practice that are environmentally friendly and ethically made.
