Raising mercury recycling awareness at the 2016 ADIA Victorian Dental Show

The Victorian branch of the Australian Dental Industry Association held its biannual Victorian Dental Show at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on June 17 and 18. Running alongside the popular scientific convention, the show featured more than 40 exhibitors, providing dentists with the opportunity to stay abreast of developments in the industries underpinning their practices.

The Ecocycle team was kept very busy fielding enquiries from old friends as well as dentists who were unaware of the availability of mercury recycling.

“Awareness of our amalgam recycling solutions is quite high in Victoria,” said Ecocycle dental specialist Ian Crawford.

“But every time we exhibit we encounter interest from dental practices that don’t know that this option exists or how easy it is to implement.”

E-waste impact continues to grow

Without a doubt the impact of e-waste continues to grow with its significant impact on the environment.     Indeed, only 12% of the nation’s computers are recycled. At this time, Australia is the fourth highest generator of e-waste per capita in the world.  Poorly managed e-waste means heavy metals and hazardous waste such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants leak into the environment.  Clearly, the risks of data leaks are also increased if the device’s storage aren’t carefully treated.
