Environmental Approach
Topdental Products is committed to the protection of the environment and to the prevention of pollution. These requirements are an integral part of our decision-making. We believe in a responsible approach to product development, manufacture and supply.
To work with and achieve this, we have identified the following focus areas for our work:
- To reduce negative effects on the environment from both our finished goods and raw materials.
- Strive for as efficient energy use as possible.
- As far as possible, choose raw materials and materials for our products that do not have a negative environmental impact and that include renewable materials.
- We will reduce the amount of waste produced from our operations and recycle wherever possible.
To succeed in a few focus areas, we have set the following goals to further our ambitions and aspirations:
Transportation
- Use local suppliers where possible.
- Encourage customers to bulk buy where possible to reduce number of deliveries.
Electricity and Energy
- Reduce our electricity usage and regularly monitor consumption.
Waste
- Waste must be sorted and recycled.
- Reduction to the amount of purchased office paper.
- 100% recyclable packaging and packing materials.
Raw Materials
- Strive for a transition to renewable raw materials / materials.
- All plastic products must be recyclable where this is an option.
