GREEN Program

Developed in 2019 with the collaboration of RECYC-QUÉBEC, this program, unique in Canada, aims to guide dental sector professionals in adopting better waste management practices, including source reduction, reuse, recovery and responsible sourcing measures It is the most innovative solution in the healthcare sector.

Phase 3 of the GREEN Program

Over the past few months, RECYC-QUÉBEC and the ACDQ have been focusing on solutions to reduce the use of single-use products while respecting health standards, finding outlets for certain problematic materials, and improving the tools developed following the launch of the program. With once again the collaboration of RECYC-QUÉBEC and the consulting services firm Stratzer, the ACDQ now undertakes an accompaniment and implementation project of eco-responsible solutions within dental clinics.
