- Hu-Friedy's Environdent Recycling Program allows dental practices to recycle old, broken, or retipped dental instruments. For every 12 instruments recycled, participants receive a free Hu-Friedy instrument, with no purchase required. - The recycled instruments are sent to a recycling center where the metal is processed. It is not used to make new dental instruments but finds new uses in products like lamp posts and car bumpers. - To participate, dental practices order a free recycling kit from Hu-Friedy containing instructions and materials to send 12 recycled instruments to the recycling center in exchange for a free instrument.
