What is it?
We recycle and reuse used or unused healthcare and orthopaedic equipment
We collect, repair and distribute used or unused hardware and equipment for uninsured or indigent patients and for people with serious and urgent health problems.
Partners of the initiative:
InterMediaKT, Patient Care Simulation Laboratory of the Department of Nursing, University of Patras, SECOL (France), Paradisanté (France), Regional Federation of People with Disabilities of Western Greece and Southern Ionian Islands.
The issue for us is:
- the saving of resources
- the development of a regional network for the collection and exchange of equipment
- the supply of free equipment and material to institutions and vulnerable groups
- the reuse of material that is currently unused or destroyed
- the reduction of waste
- the creation of a local culture of circular and exchange economy
Co2gether has developed a solid multi-year cooperation with the French NGOs SECOL and Paradisante, which have already carried out in recent years shipments of products worth €500,000.
