Abstrakt: In healthcare facilities around the world, a considerable volume of non-infected material is generated, yet only a small percentage is recycled. The COVID-19 outbreak has also highlighted the rising demand for non-infected materials in the healthcare industry, especially in dental practice. As a result, a new standard must be adopted in a sustainable manner, incorporating the recycling potential of widely used materials in an Orthodontic/Dental practise. Following the outbreak of the Corona virus, there have been significant modifications in orthodontic/dental practice, ranging from the use of personal protective equipment by healthcare providers to the insertion of materials in patients' mouths to the alteration of treatment plans and patient care. With newer recycling technology, 'Recycling a New Normal' has played a critical role. This review covers the recycling process of various materials used in orthodontic practise and how routine Orthodontic/Dental practice is embracing novel approaches to deal with the epidemic. Newer recycling methods for reconditioning various materials in Orthodontic/Dental practice have resulted in improvements in the healthcare industry that are both environmentally friendly and beneficial to the doctor-patient relationship.
