New waste management regulations came into play on 31st March 2025, called the ‘Simpler Recycling’ initiative, and your dental practice may need to fall in line with them immediately.
Simpler Recycling requires all businesses and non-domestic premises with over 10 employees to separate food waste, dry recyclables and residual waste. Support from Initial Medical, which has set the standard in healthcare and controlled waste management in the UK, can help ensure your workflows are completely compliant. The Initial Medical team can advise on these new regulations remotely or in-person, helping you make the right changes to move towards a zero waste, circular economy.
On top of expert knowledge and years of experience in aesthetic waste management, clinicians can also go to Initial Medical for specially designed waste containers. These include specialist sharps disposal bins, which are puncture-proof to minimise injury risks, and colour-coded to follow Health Technical Memorandum 07-01.
Contact Initial Medical today to learn more about the support you can access as you make improvements to your waste workflows.
