Independent dental handpiece experts Trigiene Dental has announced the launch of its reusable Eco Repair Box and a new eco range of sustainable products which aim to greatly reduce the sector's heavy reliance on single-use plastic.

The dental sector traditionally uses equipment which is sterilised and often wrapped in plastic alongside numerous single-use items including face masks, gloves and cups.

Middlesbrough-based company Trigiene Dental is leading the way to reduce this wasteful reliance on plastic items across the sector. Its new cardboard Eco Repair Box offers a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic padded envelopes which means that the equipment repair process is much more sustainable.

The family-owned business has also launched an extensive eco range of everyday consumables, including recycled hand towels made from recycled TetraPak cartons, biodegradable nitrile gloves and paper cups with waterproof natural starch lining. This is just the start of a vast range of eco products that will help dental practices further reduce their impact on the environment.

Trigiene Dental is an authorised independent distributor for major brands including Bien-Air, NSK, W&H, MK Dent, Densply Sirona and Anthogyr. Trigiene is also committed to delivering the fastest and most secure handpiece repair service available, with a 24-hour turnaround.
