Episode 36: Focus on Sustainability, with Joe Badr
Description
There is a global trend towards greater sustainability, and we have seen recent moves in Australia focus on reducing single-use items.
This week we talk to Joe Badr about his interesting sustainability journey. As a successful practice owner with a strong emphasis on hygiene-based prevention, Joe was attuned to the waste associated with dental hygiene products but also the issues of patient compliance with oral hygiene at home. Joe gives us insights into building a new business based on sustainability, the challenges doing this through the pandemic and the success of bring a new product line to market.
Hopefully this discussion challenges listeners to think more broadly about the burden of waste that we create, not only in dental practice but more broadly in our lives, and to think about the potential benefits to dental practices in tackling this sustainability issue.
