Green Care™ by EGO

Our Commitment to Sustainable, Responsible Dentistry in Westminster (SW1)

At EGO Dental Clinic, sustainability is not an add-on — it is part of who we are. Green Care™ by EGO is our long-term environmental programme, created to reduce waste, lower energy use, and deliver world-class dentistry in a way that protects our community and the planet.

As a family-run, award-winning clinic in Victoria and Westminster, we believe exceptional dentistry must support oral health, environmental health, and community wellbeing — equally.

What We Are Actively Doing for Sustainability

Fully compliant with CQC, GDC, HTM 01-05 and UK dental infection-control regulations.

1. Reducing Single-Use Plastics

We have made a clinic-wide commitment to remove unnecessary plastics from both surgeries and reception.

  • All patient cups are now 100% recyclable
  • No non-essential plastics in waiting rooms
  • Biodegradable or reusable alternatives whenever clinically appropriate

2. 100% Digital Dentistry — Zero Paper Workflow

We operate a fully digital patient journey, eliminating paper from every non-clinical process.

Digital Forms & Consent

  • All registration, medical history and consent forms completed on iPads
  • Secure digital storage — no printed files

Digital Radiography (Reduced Radiation)

  • Low-dose digital X-rays
  • No chemical films, no plastic packaging, no developing waste

Digital Prescriptions

  • Prescriptions sent electronically to Star Pharmacy, Strutton Ground SW1P
  • No paper prescriptions unless legally necessary

Digital Referrals & Communication

  • Every referral sent securely online
  • We no longer send ANY letters — all communication is digital (SMS/email)

The CQC Paper Revolution — 28 Folders Eliminated

We have replaced traditional paper-based CQC systems with the Dentistry Compliance digital platform.

Previously, our practice required:
28 full CQC folders, constantly updated, reprinted and re-organised.

Estimated Paper Saved:

  • A single CQC folder = approx. 350–400 sheets
  • 28 folders ≈ 9,800–11,200 sheets per cycle
  • Annual updates (x3–4) ≈ 30,000–45,000 sheets saved every year

This is one of our most meaningful sustainability improvements, reducing:

  • Printing waste
  • Paper consumption
  • Administrative energy
  • Ink and cartridge waste

3. Energy-Efficient Clinical Systems & Low-Energy Appliances

Lighting Upgrade

  • Full replacement with low-energy LED lighting across the clinic
  • Energy-efficient ambience lighting in reception & surgeries

Low-Energy Screens & Displays

  • Installation of Samsung Frame low-energy monitors, reducing display consumption by up to 30–40% compared to standard screens

Clinic Appliances

  • Smart, energy-efficient kettles, heaters, air systems, and staff appliances
  • All batteries replaced with rechargeable systems

4. Solar-Powered Decontamination & Compressor Room (2025 Launch)

Our biggest sustainability investment is the installation of a solar array dedicated to powering the practice’s highest-consumption area:

  • Two autoclaves
  • Ultrasonic cleaner
  • Water distiller
  • Compressor room lights & equipment

Autoclaves (Excel Healthcare)

  • Enigma 8L B-Type: 1400–1600W per cycle
  • Enigma 17L B-Type: 2000–2200W per cycle

Ultrasonic Cleaner (2.5L)

  • Approx. 120–150W continuous

Pyro 200 Water Distiller

  • Approx. 580–620W per cycle

During Central London’s peak light months (May–September), the solar installation will offset a major portion of the decontamination energy load.

5. The EGO Recycling Centre

We have created a dedicated EGO Recycling Centre, separating all materials responsibly:

  • Soft plastics
  • Mixed paper & cardboard
  • Mixed recycling
  • Glass, bottles & jars
  • Food tins & drink cans
  • Hazardous waste
  • General waste
  • Sharps
  • Medical clinical waste
  • Battery recycling station
  • Fully CQC-compliant waste segregation
  • All systems collected by Westminster Council’s regulated waste services

6. Eco-Friendly Cleaning & Disinfection (Non-Clinical Areas)

While clinical areas must follow strict HTM 01-05 disinfectant rules, all non-clinical spaces now use:

  • Eco-certified cleaning products
  • Reusable microfibre cloths
  • Low-chemical, reduced-waste systems for daily cleaning

This reduces chemical volume and improves indoor air quality.

7. Green Interiors & Sensory Wellbeing

  • Biophilic design: natural materials, soft textures, calming colours
  • Low-VOC paints and surfaces
  • Advanced air purification system: Levoit HEPA purifier for constantly improved air quality

8. Sustainable Procurement

We prioritise:

  • Local suppliers
  • Ethically sourced, reusable materials
  • Long-life rechargeable batteries
  • Low-impact packaging
  • Energy-efficient equipment

9. Reusable Bags & Sustainable Patient Materials

Where takeaway packs are needed, we provide:

  • Reusable or recyclable bags
  • Zero plastic gift bags
  • Recyclable packaging for oral health items

10. Reducing Patient Travel

To reduce emissions and improve patient convenience:

  • Same-day exam + hygiene appointments offered
  • Treatment coordinator aims to combine treatment visits
  • Fewer trips → less traffic → lower carbon footprint

Green Chair™ by EGO — What It Means

Green Chair™ by EGO is our promise that every appointment is delivered with:

  • minimal waste
  • reduced energy use
  • responsible materials
  • low-impact travel
  • and a commitment to long-term environmental care

Every time a patient sits in the chair, they participate in sustainable dentistry.

Our 2025–2027 Green Care™ Roadmap

  • Achieve net-zero treatment pathways for hygiene, Invisalign & restorative care
  • Expand solar offset systems
  • Complete digital transformation (100% paperless)
  • Strengthen local eco-friendly supplier partnerships
  • Launch community projects on sustainable oral health

Beginning 2026 — Annual Sustainability Reports

Starting in 2026, EGO Dental Clinic will publish an annual sustainability report covering:

  • Waste reduction
  • Digital transformation progress
  • Solar energy output
  • Carbon reduction statistics
  • Recycling performance
  • Year-on-year improvements

This demonstrates transparency, accountability, and leadership in sustainable dentistry.

Why Sustainability Matters in Dentistry

Dentistry has historically relied on plastics, chemicals and high-energy devices.
Green Care™ by EGO shows that modern clinical excellence can — and must — be environmentally responsible.

We are proud to lead this change in Central London.

I have had many treatments with the team at EGO and despite my deep fears of dentists, they have always made me feel comfortable and secure. Charlie has even used a Virtual breathing VR experience to help me relaxed.
They are also always considering your well being during treatments.

I’m extremely happy with this clinic! Everything was excellent and well organized. Dr. Attariani is highly skilled both professionally and technically, and I always felt I was in very safe hands. The entire team is incredibly friendly, attentive, and creates a very welcoming atmosphere.
I visited for dental treatment and also had a tattoo removal done here. Both experiences were outstanding and handled with great care and professionalism.
Highly recommended, everything here is just right!

Golnar, Charlie, and the entire team is kind, helpful and incredibly professional! I have had several routine treatments like fillings done over the past five years there, as well as getting Invisalign. The tools and materials are always top notch, the clinic is immaculate and modern, and they always have a kind word and a smile for you. I could not recommend them more, and I am lucky to have found them!

EGO dental clinic has been taking care of mine and my family dental health for over 5 years. We only had the best care from Dr Charlie and his team.

Whenever I walk in, I immediately feel welcomed by Ewa's warmth at the reception. Dr Charlie really takes his patients' dental health at heart, provides you with detailed explanations and I trust him that he only wants the best for me. I had also a wonderful experience with Dr Golnar, who has always been extremely patient, informative and kind throughout a long process. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone, you will be in a safe pair of hands.
