Our green initiative
At Pallant, we’re doing our best to look after our planet – because we want future generations to have beautiful, confident smiles, too. Here are just some of the actions we’re taking as part of our green initiative.
Ways we make our practice more sustainable
Humble toothbrushes
Instead of providing plastic toothbrushes for our patients, we’ve moved to a more sustainable brand: The Humble Co. Humble toothbrushes are made with a 100% sustainable bamboo handle, making them an eco-friendly choice for a healthy smile.
Biodegradable cups
In our effort to reduce our plastic waste, we’ve replaced our plastic cups with biodegradable cups that degrade within 8 weeks.
Canvas bags
As another means of reducing our plastic waste, we’ve discontinued our use of plastic bags. Instead, we provide eco-friendly, reusable canvas bags for our patients.
