What does it mean to be a certified Green Business?
It is a voluntary measure consisting of four audits from the county and city on:
-Waste
-Water
-Energy
-Pollution
Certification as a Green Business is good for three years. Each re-certification requires an additional measure to be implemented. Wu Orthodontics has been a certified Green Business since 2010.
In addition to our modern office where we use the latest technology, we make an effort towards reducing our impact on the environment by using:
- Digital x-rays
- Paperless charts
- Recycle and compost bins in all parts of our office
- Energy Star office and computer equipment
- Low flow aerators in faucets
- Water efficient toilets
- Energy efficient lighting
- Recyclable toner cartridges
- Environmentally friendly cleaning products
