Each year, thousands of discarded toothbrushes and other oral care product packaging end up in Australian landfills. Bupa Dental is committed to minimising waste and helping create a better environment for us all to enjoy.

We believe that small actions, when combined, can make a real difference to the health of our planet. That’s why we’ve partnered with Colgate and TerraCycle to recycle your everyday dental care items, which will be repurposed into useful new products like garden furniture and playground equipment.

Simply drop your toothbrushes, plastic packaging and other dental waste into our recycle bins, and it will be on its way towards a new lease of life.
