Green Dentistry with HyGe: Reducing Plastic Waste
For practices looking to make green dentistry measurable, plastic waste provides one of the clearest places to start. Dental teams use disinfectant wipes throughout the working day. Therefore, changing how practices receive and dispense them can make a significant difference.
HyGe replaces conventional packets of wet wipes with a plastic-free dry-wipe roll inside the dispenser. Instead of repeatedly opening and discarding individual wipe packets, practices refill the system with larger consumables that require less packaging over time.
The benefits increase when a practice installs HyGe across several treatment rooms. A single surgery may use thousands of wipes each year, while a larger practice or dental group may use hundreds of thousands. As a result, removing plastic from this frequently used consumable allows small changes in each surgery to create substantial reductions across the organisation.

Sustainable Dentistry in Action Across UK Dental Practices
Green dentistry is moving from ambition to measurable action across UK dental practices. HyGe supports practices that want to make sustainability part of normal clinical operations rather than treat it as a separate initiative.
Smart Dental Care provides a strong example. The group has introduced HyGe across multiple practices as part of its wider plan to reduce waste and improve the sustainability of everyday consumables.
Other practices are joining programmes such as Green Means Business to measure their environmental progress. These programmes help organisations assess changes such as switching from conventional packet wipes to HyGe. As a result, practices can better understand their impact on plastic waste, carbon emissions and purchasing.
HyGe also makes sustainability more visible to dental teams. Instead of limiting plastic-reduction goals to policies or annual reports, practices can show staff a practical example of green dentistry every time they use the dispenser.
