Sustainable Infection Control in Dentistry: Podcast

Bio Hygiene Director Jurgen Kuhefuss recently joined Michelle Pritchard on the Dental Success Beyond Chairside podcast to discuss the growing importance of sustainable infection control within modern dental practices.

The conversation explored the impact traditional disinfectants can have on both staff health and the environment, highlighting the need for safer, biodegradable alternatives that still meet the highest infection control standards.

Jurgen shared insights into:

• the benefits of 100% biodegradable, hospital-grade disinfectants
• reducing chemical exposure for dental teams
• understanding material safety data sheets (MSDS)
• navigating equipment warranties when choosing cleaning products
• the role of refill systems and plant-based wipes in reducing waste
• protecting upholstery and sensitive dental surfaces
• how sustainability can become a competitive advantage for dental clinics

The episode also touched on the environmental impact of imported chemicals and the increasing demand from younger generations for environmentally responsible businesses.

We are incredibly thankful to host Michelle Pritchard for shining a light on topics that matter and for providing a platform for us to reach others and share sustainability knowledge within the dental industry.

At Bio Hygiene, the focus remains on developing safer, effective infection control solutions that support both clinical performance and environmental responsibility.
