We are very resourceful and strive to sterilize and reuse rather than throw away. We implement very stringent recycling measures and make sure to sort our trash every day. We order recycled products whenever available, even if it may sometimes be more costly as green dental products are not widely available. We use energy efficient lighting, and are part of PG&E's smartAC program. We are in the process of digitizing all of our patient charts, and are virtually paperless.
