A Brisbane nurse is waging a war on unused medical supplies going to landfill.
Claire Lane was shocked by the sight of packs filled with new medical supplies being thrown away because they were unfit for surgery.
She asked if there was a way to recycle the packs of drapes, gowns and masks but was told to throw them out.
This prompted her to start “Save Our Supplies”, a non-profit organisation collecting clean unused medical supplies to redistribute them overseas.
She says, "Even though they don't reach our standards they are still perfectly clean and can be used in a lot of other environments other than hospitals,"
