Study models, disposal

11 years 5 months ago #3010 by
Dental study models are made of Gypsum (Plaster), and should not be disposed of with any other non-gypsum waste. See www.environment-agency.gov.uk/static/doc...sum_rev_Jan_2011.pdf for a bit of guidance.

As plaster suppliers, we now provide a waste plaster collection and disposal service, but it's currently limited in area. If you'd like more info, please shout! :)
