Invisalign trays are made from a proprietary blend of materials that include polyurethane resins and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, making them incompatible with standard recycling processes.
Composite materials like those found in Invisalign are challenging for typical recycling systems to process, leading to insufficient recycling opportunities and environmental concerns.
The partnership between Invisalign and TerraCycle promotes a solution for recycling these trays by establishing collection points at dental offices, facilitating proper disposal.
Consumers can also utilize the Oral Care Zero Waste Pouch from TerraCycle, allowing for individual recycling efforts, thereby reducing waste from dental products.
