A new venture has been created for all activities outside of the US market called Dental Recycling International, Inc. (DRI). DRI has been established to address the new international opportunities being presented by the Minimata Treaty.
The first of these global efforts is a pilot project developed by United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), to install amalgam separators in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
The second part of this pilot project is to oversee that the collected wastes are disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. In addition to providing technology and recycling for this pilot project in Africa, DRI will avail itself of all the experience of DRNA in the US market to bring the best in waste management practices to those serving in both public and private sector dental clinics around the globe.
