The Future of Business
is Circular

Nearly 895 million tons of material waste ends up in landfills every year. We think it’s time to turn that line into a circle by matching industries with excess materials to companies that can put them to use.

How we do it

From Trash to Cash

01

Curious?

Explore new waste materials.

Explore all the materials in our digital or physical show rooms.

Ask questions, get more details and request samples of the materials, and thereby understand the materials you're looking for better.

Whether you're in the fashion industry, packaging or the construction industry - we will guide you to think in circles.

At this stage, no fee, no money, no membership is needed

In love?

Order materials for test or proto.

Order a small batch of materials to test your solution. We will handle the hassle, restrain the materials from being wasted, and bring them to you.

Didn't find what you're looking for?
If your desired material is not found in our showroom, we'll go waste-hunting, with a promised material-lineup within 7 days.

At this stage, membership is required. You do the people-planet-profit math.

Never heard of
New Waste?

New Waste is, as the name suggests, entirely unused materials. It comes from large-scale production, so it's always high quality, consistent and reliable. In other words, a largely untapped treasure trove for designers, producers and creators of all kinds.
