Sustainability Through Reprocessing

Stryker Sustainability Solutions: Our History

Corporate Timeline

Stryker Sustainability Solutions (formerly Ascent) joined Stryker in January of 2010 as a division focused on sustainability solutions for hospitals across the United States and beyond.  Stryker Sustainability Solutions is the leading provider of reprocessing and remanufacturing services of “single-use” devices in North America.

Stryker Sustainability Solutions is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, with production facilities in both Lakeland, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona. We employ approximately 1,000 highly-trained individuals in these two locations and throughout the United States.

Stryker Sustainability Solutions has a customer base consisting of approximately 1,900 hospitals and surgery centers in the U.S., including most of the medical facilities recognized annually by U.S. News & World Report as the top hospitals in America. Stryker continues to have a critical impact on hospital savings and environmental impact through reprocessing.

Stryker Sustainability Solutions has its roots in the first efforts to improve sustainability by addressing “single-use” devices and the first attempts to improve healthcare sustainability in an integrated fashion: Stryker Sustainability Solutions predecessor companies pioneered the reprocessing industry and Stryker continues to lead this bold healthcare initiative.
