The Global Mercury Partnership and its two areas of work on mercury in products and waste management, in cooperation with the World Health Organization, organized a webinar on Monday 18 December 2023.
The webinar shared initial information on phasing down dental amalgam as well as on the ongoing project in Senegal, Thailand and Uruguay. The event also provided a platform to further exchange on existing experiences and best practices in reducing the use of dental amalgam, and managing in an environmentally sound manner the resulting mercury waste.
