SAN FRANCISCO, US: Californian company Dentaqua has received the SEAL Sustainable Product Award for its flagship disinfection device that eliminates the need for single-use wipes in dental clinics. The coveted international award honours innovative products that “represent game-changing ideas that bring us to a more sustainable future”, and the company said that it was delighted to be named a winner.

Dentaqua is the first dental product to win a SEAL Sustainable Product Award. The company said that the accolade was recognition of the positive impact that its product has on the carbon footprint of dental clinics. It explained: “Dentaqua replaces traditional chemical disinfectants with a device that produces eco-friendly disinfectants on demand. Dentaqua’s device meets the entire disinfectant needs of a dental practice, including surface disinfection, hand sanitising, impression disinfection, dental waterline disinfection, and more.”
According to the company, the only inputs to the device are water and a trace amount of salt. The disinfectant produced is non-toxic yet has a 30-second contact time to kill viruses, according to EN 14476, the European Standard test method for the evaluation of virucidal activity.
Kevin Keane, chief operating officer at the company, said: “Dentaqua is honoured to receive the SEAL award and to be recognised for our contribution to sustainable dentistry.”
He continued: “Our goal is to help dental practices become more sustainable. The average dental practice disposes of 20,000 single-use wipes annually—that is two billion wipes disposed of every year by the industry. Dentaqua eliminates the use of single-use wipes and disinfectant packaging. Furthermore, by eliminating all harmful chemicals, the dental practice is a safer place for staff and patients.”
Previous SEAL award winners include Nestlé, IBM, Samsung, and Colgate-Palmolive.
