MATTER 360™ – the “easy button” solution to donate excess/expired medical supplies and equipment that hospital and manufacturer supply chain professionals rely on.

We redistribute donated medical supplies and equipment, resulting in increased access to health in some of the hardest to reach corners of the world.
Our partners find us responsive, flexible, and an easy solution to quickly and efficiently make donations!

(re)PURPOSE 

In the U.S. alone, hospitals create non-hazardous medical waste in excess of an estimated 5 million tons every year.

MATTER is committed to attacking this staggering situation by (re)purposing medical equipment and supplies to aid people and improve environmental sustainability by reducing landfill medical waste. We accomplish this through the MATTER 360 Initiative, distributing to international hospital and clinic partners, through resales and recycling.

 

In 2020 1.5 million pounds was (re)purposed. 

0%
of all medical supplies and equipment is distributed to MATTER’s hospital and clinic partners around the world.
0%
MATTER remarkets approximately 2% of supplies and equipment via sales channels to support MATTER projects and operations.
0%
of usable supplies and equipment is recycled annually, resulting in total waste of only 0.6%.
