Utilizing Water Sustainably

Dentsply Sirona recognizes the importance of water stewardship as part of its environmental responsibility. Our local teams have worked on the continuing process of improving water withdrawal and discharge tracking, and on introducing water reduction initiatives.

Our water management programs include incorporating closed-loop and water quenching systems to replace once-through cooling systems and reducing sanitary water consumption by installing hands-free motion sensors in restrooms. During 2020, we made significant progress in water stewardship at several of our sites.

Haifa, Israel

We installed a new water treatment system in 2020 that improved the water recovery ratio from 60% to 75% and brought annual water savings of 130,000 liters. 

Mölndal, Sweden

The Mölndal site modified its catheter coating process. The new process uses a solvent with lower environmental impact and requires less energy, fewer chemicals, and less water. The new solvent is derived from a renewable rather than fossil-based resource.
