Our approach to recycling

Nobel Biocare supports the principle of Individual Producer Responsibility (IPR). We aim to contribute to the efficient use of resources and the retrieval of valuable raw materials through re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery. We therefore actively cooperate with our industry partners, the recycling community and other stakeholders to further improve the collection, treatment and recycling of Nobel Biocare’s products at the end of their lifetime.

Producer registrations and recycling scheme

Nobel Biocare is recognized as a producer of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE), Battery and Packaging and is fully compliant with all responsibilities as a registered producer on the European markets. Nobel Biocare has established recycling contracts with country-approved recycling providers (compliance scheme) for the disposal of products that Nobel Biocare has placed on the market within the EU.
