New FDI initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact of dentistry
The FDI World Dental Federation is aiming to lead the charge in encouraging sustainable practices by dental professionals worldwide. The collaborative initiative, which will involve extensive work with a range of groups, is intended to lead to a Consensus Statement outlining the environmental impacts of dentistry, and the publication of an FDI Sustainability Code of Practice that will provide "guidelines and objectives for achieving a sustainable procurement and supply procedure [and] which will be signed by co-signatories across the supply chain."
