Reverse Healthcare Supply Chains for Circular Economy

REHEAL is a four-year Horizon Europe innovation project aimed at transforming healthcare supply chains across Europe from linear to circular, bringing buyers together with a wider community of interest to build a scalable model for circular healthcare across Europe.

REHEAL brings together leading health systems in Denmark, Greece, Poland, Spain and Scotland, alongside universities and innovation partners. Together, they are pioneering circular, sustainable solutions that extend the life of medical products, reduce waste, and fortify resilience.

Using a Fast Track Pre-Commercial Procurement approach, the project will co-design, prototype, and test new digital and operational tools that enable reverse supply chains, drive resource efficiency and support Europe’s transition to a more climate friendly healthcare sector.
