REPSOURCE: INNOVATING
HEALTHCARE SUSTAINABILITY
At its core, RepSource is an innovative
healthcare sustainability company committed
to recycling surplus medical supplies. By
placing bins directly in operating rooms,
RepSource collects and repurposes medical
supplies, reselling them to bioskills labs and
repurposing items for new uses within the
healthcare system.
What sets RepSource apart is its comprehensive
360-degree approach. Unlike organizations that
focus solely on donations, RepSource blends
recycling, manufacturing, and repurposing
medical supplies to create a sustainable and
practical system for hospitals nationwide.
Maria reflects on the significance of her
mission: "e REPSource method isn't just
for NY and NJ hospitals; this is a nationwide
issue. My goal is to implement this in every
hospital system across the country."
A significant milestone for the company came
with the approval to launch at NYU. While
initial skepticism about the waste quantities
existed, RepSource proved its worth almost
immediately. Within 24 hours, NYU's team
saw just how impactful the initiative could be.
