Hey Patients!

This Earth Day we wanted to celebrate by sharing with you our FIVE top tips to making the world a better place!

Environmentally yours,ย 

Laura and Jo


1. Join us in becoming Plastic Neutral!

Since launching our partnership with rePurpose Global in July 2021, we have been able to recover over 50 tons of plastic waste so far, with the help of our Invisalign patients helping us in our quest to become plastic neutral!

We are very proud to have achieved this with rePurpose, who have also been working to remove plastic waste from the environment overseas.

In Bekasi, Indonesia, we are helping rePurpose to recover 138,000lbs of plastic waste every year โ€“ thatโ€™s the equivalent of 3 million plastic bags! Start your journey to becoming plastic neutral with us by taking a re-usable bag to the shop with you!


2. Recycle, recycle, recycle!

Throughout our practices we use Terracycle boxes to encourage our patients and team to recycle their old oral health products and Invisalign aligners! We have also recently introduced green bins in our practices to recycle paper.

Make sure you recycle what you can at home and at work!


3. Green the commute!

Can you car share, use public transport, walk or ride a bike instead of jumping in the car?

This often provides a great chance to get to know your local community and your colleagues better too!


4. Go virtual!

At Queensway Orthodontics, we offer free, video consultations as an alternative to face-to-face appointments โ€“ reducing your carbon footprint! Not only is this good for the environment but also saves you time and money too!


5. Use eco-friendly products!

We are committed to encouraging and promoting reducing the use of single-use plastic in everything we do! We are proud to say we have sourced the most reliable and innovative eco-friendly oral health products on the market that are not only good for you, but are also good for the planet.

These can be purchased on our online storeย bracebrushes.co.uk
