About Nordic Reclaim
We are a purpose-driven social enterprise dedicated to creating lasting change in global healthcare. Founded by Joe Storm—born and raised in Zimbabwe with over 10 years of experience setting up and working on social-environmental initiatives in the UK, Denmark, and Zimbabwe—and Søren Hedegaard, a serial entrepreneur who has worked with biomedical equipment and providing technical solutions while supporting social non-profit initiatives (including the development of an independent non-profit in the Philippines)—our organization combines regional insights with a commitment to sustainable impact. We collaborate with leading public and private entities in Denmark, including hospitals and regional departments, to secure donations of decommissioned yet high-value medical equipment. In addition, we work alongside well-established NGOs to form robust collaborative networks with recipient organizations. These partnerships adhere to strict ethical and environmental criteria, ensuring that equipment is safely installed, maintained, and responsibly managed through every stage of its lifecycle.
How Nordic Reclaim works
Nordic Reclaim partners with Danish hospitals and public health institutions to acquire decommissioned yet valuable medical equipment, ensuring each device meets rigorous quality and safety standards. We focus on extending the lifecycle of high-value equipment such as ultrasound machines, X-ray systems, and dialysis units by preparing them for redeployment. Our model supports recipient organizations in under-resourced regions with safe installation, maintenance protocols, and responsible recycling practices. By managing secure logistics and fostering partnerships grounded in accountability, we ensure equipment delivers long-term, measurable improvements in healthcare delivery where it’s needed most.
We harness cutting-edge technology and the expertise of our dedicated team to transform these recycled materials into high-quality, reusable products. Throughout our operations, we prioritize environmental responsibility, striving to reduce our carbon footprint and promote a circular economy. By working closely with communities and businesses, we aim to drive positive change and contribute to a cleaner, greener planet.
