Rheaply Partners with Catalyst by Wellstar to Advance Circular Innovation in Health Systems

A New Standard for Smarter Healthcare Resource Management

Healthcare doesn’t just consume resources—it depends on them. From diagnostic equipment and IT assets to furniture and supplies, hospitals are among the most resource-intensive environments in the world. Yet billions of dollars worth of materials sit idle each year, costing health systems financially while straining supply chains and adding to environmental impact.

Catalyst by Wellstar is investing in Rheaply to unlock a more sustainable, intelligent, and connected future for healthcare resource management. We’re exited to be bringing circular economy thinking to one of the nation’s most innovative health systems—showing what’s possible when organizations treat every resource as an asset with untapped potential.

Building on a Proven Track Record in Healthcare

Rheaply’s circular economy platform has already driven measurable impact across healthcare, higher education, and enterprise. Our work with Allina Health and Rush University has demonstrated how circular solutions can reduce costs and waste while improving operational agility. By helping organizations better understand what they have, where it is, and how it can be redeployed, we’ve shown that smarter stewardship of resources creates both environmental and financial value.

Our Shared Objectives

Through this partnership with Wellstar, we will digitally catalog assets across their health system to create a single, trusted source of visibility. By identifying, categorizing, and integrating resources into the Rheaply platform, we will enable internal redistribution while providing real-time insights into resource availability and usage patterns to guide better decision-making. Baseline data will establish measurable outcomes in cost savings, redeployment, and sustainability.

Ultimately, this work will reduce unnecessary procurement, lower storage costs, and prepare Wellstar and connected healthcare systems for streamlined reuse opertaions through resale, donation, and responsible recycling and removal. Together, we are transforming resource management from a reactive process into a strategic advantage.
