I work for a non-profit organization that provides prostheses and orthoses
through rehabilitation centers and outreach worldwide-particularly in
countries that have been devastated by war and conflict. Our programs in
both Vietnam and Cambodia are currently faced with a substantial need for
polypropylene, not actual devices, but the raw material itself.
My question is: does anyone know of a resource or company that could be
approached for an in-kind donation of polypropylene?
We use two types of PP for various devices. The first is the homo-polymer
and the other is a co-polymer. I have tried to research potential resources
but unfortunately, I have gotten bogged down in technical aspects that are
over my head.
Thank you in advance!!
