Penta Medical Recycling has been named a finalist in the .ORG Impact Awards 2023 by the Public Interest Registry (PIR), the people behind the .ORG domain. The prestigious global awards program recognizes and rewards outstanding mission-driven individuals and organizations from around the world for their positive contributions to society.
Penta Medical Recycling was selected from applications from more than 70 countries for their work in helping to provide prosthetic equipment and devices to amputees in greatest need. A leader in the nonprofit prosthetics space and recipient of the Health and Healing Impact Award, Penta collects used and surplus prostheses and delivers this high-quality, low-cost prosthetic equipment to amputees in 30 countries. Penta has become the go-to resource for collecting and redistributing valuable prosthetic and orthotic devices, ensuring that equipment does not go to waste and that mobility can be restored to thousands of people around the world.

We are excited to have the opportunity to raise awareness of the millions of people around the world living with limb loss and the work Penta is doing to help provide prosthetics to restore mobility around the world, said Anna Szczepanek, Executive Director of Penta Medical Recycling.
