Go Practice Green, a dental-specific sustainability platform, was launched in May 2024. The subscription-based, online, self-paced, and fully supported platform guides clinics through a proven process to become more sustainable.
Dental practices, often burdened with budgets and time constraints, may find adding another task daunting. However, Go Practice Green dispels these concerns by showcasing the benefits of cost-effective, sustainable operations, making the transition to eco-responsibility a rewarding journey.
Go Practice Green focuses on eight key areas for impactful changes:
- Increasing and protecting various plants and animals.
- Carbon footprint. Reducing contributions to climate change by using less energy and adopting greener methods.
- Sharing sustainability efforts with the team, patients, and the local community.
- Integrating sustainability into operations, decision-making, and staff involvement.
- Reducing plastic use and finding environmentally friendly alternatives.
- Properly separating and recycling waste.
- Reducing resources. Conserving natural resources by using less water, energy, and materials.
- Supply chain. Choosing environmentally friendly, ethically made products and services.
The platform seamlessly integrates ecological responsibility into daily operations, and expert support allows any team member to manage implementation.
Mark Topley, creator of Go Practice Green, said, "Sustainability is a team effort, and Go Practice Green empowers every member of your staff to become a sustainability ambassador. Our platform provides clear communication strategies, helping practices confidently share their green transformation with patients."
