The EDA Accepted Seal is awarded only to
products and services that offer exceptional environmental benefits for the
dental practice or dental industry. “The
most common question we’re asked at the EDA is: ‘What products should I
buy?’” Those products featuring the EDA
Accepted Seal are immediately recognizable to the burgeoning market of dental
professionals who are going green,” remarked Eco-Dentistry Association
Director, Susan Beck.
Once a product or service is confirmed as
EDA Accepted, the manufacturer will receive an electronic version of the EDA
Accepted Seal, which may be used on any marketing, advertising, and packaging
materials such as catalogs, websites, and product packaging. The manufacturer can then promote the product
or service’s eco-friendly benefits with the added credential of the EDA
Accepted Seal.
The EDA Accepted Seal makes it easy for dental
professionals to identify products and services
that meet the EDA’s standards and best
practices for green dental offices.
Dental professionals
who rely on the EDA to help them achieve
their “perfect shade of green” also rely on the EDA Accepted Seal to help them
choose eco-friendly products from their supplier’s catalog quickly, easily, and
with confidence.
According to Beck, “The EDA Accepted Seal
may be appropriate for a product or service if
it enables the dental professional to reduce waste and pollution; saves water
or energy; incorporates innovative and/or high technology; or displays
attributes of wellness-based dentistry.”

or service can obtain the EDA Accepted Seal, please log onto www.ecodentistry.org or call Eco-Dentistry
