The case
In recent years Dental Fab has implemented several initiatives to minimize its environmental impact, including the redesign of operations that reduced the use of disposable plastic in its services. We supported the measurement of that reduction in its internal and external operations, to report and communicate its impact effectively. The Unplastify Validation Network confirmed the plastic reduction and the company received the UPFC Certification.
The company
Dental Fab is an invisible orthodontics laboratory created in 2017, when a group of engineers interested in 3D printing joined forces with dentists specialized in invisible orthodontics to shape its processes and its line of aligners.
