Case Study: Allina Health achieves $193,000+ in reuse savings with Rheaply

Allina Health saves $193,000+ with Rheaply

Allina Health, a nonprofit health care system, faced a challenge with surplus furniture, supplies, and surgical instruments that were often discarded or sat unused in storage while other sites purchased the same items new. They partnered with Rheaply to implement its resource exchange platform to find an efficient way to rehome these assets and reduce waste.

Using the Rheaply platform, Allina Health created a program to redistribute surplus items across its facilities. The solution successfully diverted over 20,700 lbs from landfills and recaptured over $193,000 in value. A notable success was the reuse of surgical instruments, which alone saved over $51,000 for the department. Rheaply enabled significant cost savings and waste reduction for Allina Health.
