And the dental care sector is changing with it. Sustainability is no longer a trend, but a necessity. Dental Expo, the trade fair for total dental care, plays an active role in this. Not only by making sustainable innovations from exhibitors visible, but also by taking responsibility itself. In this article you will discover what Dental Expo does in the field of sustainability, why this is important for the sector and how you as a dental care professional can contribute to this.<\/h5>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 id=\"resulttxt\" class=\"mt-translation-content\">Sustainability in oral care: why it needs to happen now<\/h3>\r\n<div id=\"resulttxt\" class=\"mt-translation-content\">Dental practices, dental hygienists, suppliers and designers of practice furnishings: they all have an impact on the environment. Think of the use of single-use plastic, medical waste flows, energy consumption, transport and packaging. At the same time, there are plenty of opportunities to become more sustainable: from switching to reusable instruments to purchasing from suppliers who focus on green logistics.<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"resulttxt\" class=\"mt-translation-content\">More and more professionals want to take that sustainable step. Dental Expo offers the place to turn that ambition into action.<\/div>\r\n<h3><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<h3 id=\"resulttxt\" class=\"mt-translation-content\">Dental Expo as a driver of sustainable innovations<b><\/b><\/h3>\r\nDuring Dental Expo 2026, hundreds of suppliers and service providers will come together to work on the oral care of tomorrow.
