Abstract

In march 2019, the European Parliament has voted for a ban of single-use plastics to come into force by 2021 in all EU member states. Europe is setting new and ambitious standards, paving the way for the rest of the world. Dentistry aims to diminish its environmental footprint by adopting the 4R’s concept (reduce, reuse, recycle, rethink) and through the switch to eco-friendly home oral hygiene products.
