Practice Waste Solutions
A comprehensive program that allows you to comply with EPA rules and regulations with less stress for you and your practice
Dr. Mitchell Pasenkoff practices in Norfolk, MA, where amalgam separators have been mandatory for about 15 years. “My representative recommended products by Solmetex to help my practice with compliance,” he shared. “Solmetex was the only company that had the amalgam separator and other disposal kits at the time it became mandatory."
Dr. Pasenkoff uses Solmetex's NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator and PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner in his practice. He also uses the online Compliance Center to access his recycling certifi cates. The amalgam separator system was easy to install and he has found that the Solmetex products are effective for his practice. "I only use Solmetex’s products for my practice.”
Solmetex offers a variety of disposal kits that fi t the needs of all types of dental practices. These products cover amalgam recovery, lead recycling, photo chemical recovery, and bio-hazard sharps disposal.
The EPA rule is simple—if you remove amalgam, you need an amalgam separator. Solmetex has designed a product line that meets or exceeds all state and federal requirements for the safe removal of mercurycontaining amalgam in the dental office.
All Compliance Tools in One Place
Dr. Pasenkoff enjoys the convenience of having all of the products he needs to be compliant come from one company. He also likes that Solmetex sends him reminders and promotions when it is time for him to change out his collection container. For example, Solmetex reached out to Dr. Pasenkoff to inform him of a current special they were running to upgrade his Hg5 Legacy Amalgam Separator to the new current version for free. All he had to do was pay for the collection container that includes recycling.
Solmetex sends Dr. Pasenkoff a reminder when it is time to change out his collection container. "When it's time for a new container, they let you know by email," explained Dr. Pasenkoff. "Plus, if you’re running low on anything, they can track it and remind you when you're due for new equipment.” Not having to worry about keeping track of when he needs to order new products is a weight off Dr. Pasenkoff’s shoulders.
The Solmetex Maintenance Program
Most recently, Solmetex has launched the Solmetex Maintenance Program, which enables practices to put all their products on auto-delivery on a customized schedule of their choice. “What's great about Solmetex is if I need paperwork, they have it on their compliance site,” explained Dr. Pasenkoff. “I can print anything out straight from their website—another reason that I’m happy with their products and services."
Certificates of recycling, shipping labels, and enrollment in the Solmetex Maintenance Program can be found on the Solmetex Compliance Center portal.
