Contributing to a more sustainable future, one repair at a time

Just under a year ago, we achieved ISO 14001  for our environmental management systems – a massive milestone in our journey to becoming the UK’s leading sustainable and independent repair centre. Since then, we have continued to place sustainability at the heart of our business. We know how important it is for dental professionals to work with suppliers who share the same commitment to reducing environmental impact. That is why we are delighted to unveil the latest step in our green journey – the launch of our new, reusable MC Repairs FREEPost Box. This innovation will gradually replace our current plastic FREEPost Packs, helping us cut down on unnecessary waste while still providing the same fast, first-class service you rely on.

Why the MC Repairs FREEPost Box matters 

The MC Repairs FREEPost boxes.

For years, our FREEPost Packs have been a convenient way for practices to send us equipment in need of repair. While these packs already contained 30% recycled content, the enclosed bubble bag was part of the recyclable content and although they were durable, they contained a high amount of plastics and were not reusable.

Our new FREEPost Box changes that. Designed with durability and reusability in mind, it is fully recyclable at the end of its life. Better still, we will return your repaired equipment in the very same box, ready for you to use again. If the box becomes worn, we will take care of recycling it responsibly and provide a fresh replacement!

Significant sustainability Improvements made

  • Recyclable and reusable: A smarter, greener alternative to our previous single-use packaging.
  • Two convenient sizes: Practices can now choose the right fit for their repair needs, avoiding excess packaging.
  • Durable by design: Built to withstand multiple uses, making the box highly efficient.
  • Updated design: A refreshed and more professional design that reflects our new branding and our commitment to sustainability.

Conclusion

The introduction of the MC Repairs FREEPost Box is just one part of our wider sustainability journey. From waste reduction to energy efficiency, we are continuously reviewing our operations to make sure we deliver solutions that are good for both our customers and the planet.

We are proud that our environmental efforts are already helping dental practices across the UK align with their own green initiatives. With the FREEPost Box, we hope to make it even easier for our customers to contribute to a more sustainable future, one repair at a time.
