The trending hues of ‘Wordle green’ in the fashion world may fade, but a celebration of Earth Day green at the dental practice can occur every day with these five eco-friendly options. We normally wouldn’t argue with Kermit the Frog, especially about his signature song, but “Bein’ Green” in has never been easier – especially in dentistry.

5 ways to celebrate Earth Day by adding eco-friendly options at your dental practice

The offerings are endless — and fully customizable — with biodegradable plastic and paper patient bags to send home with dental patients. The EcoSolution plastic bag, shown, will biodegrade naturally whether introduced to the recycling stream or thrown in the trash destined for composting in a landfill. It breaks down into inert soil and bio gases. It’s designed to be reused, recycled or discarded with minimum impact on the environment.
Full-color and sturdy, paper patient supply bags provide another alternative and are fully biodegradable.
