ANEW is the leader in inspiring companies to see waste differently by reusing surplus office furniture, matching it with those in need, and working together to grow circular economies that benefit people, communities, businesses and the natural world.

ANEW is committed to:
- STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES
ANEW matches surplus items with charities, non-profits, public agencies, and underserved communities. - RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Our project outcomes and data have been independently audited which points to measurable results on the positive environmental impact of Surplus Stewardship®. - BEING SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
ANEW inspires companies to become their own stewards of surplus furniture and other items to benefit their communities. - EDUCATING THROUGH ACTION
ANEW raises awareness of the economic, social, and environmental benefits of Surplus Stewardship® through free workshops, presentations and case studies.
SOLO Eyewear creates eco-friendly sunglasses and blue light filter glasses made with repurposed wood, bamboo, cellulose acetate and recycled plastic and for every purchase, they restore vision for a person in need!
SOLO Eyewear is committed to:
- RESTORING EYESIGHT
By donating 10% of profits, SOLO Eyewear has restored vision for 13,000+ people in need through the funding of eye exams, eyeglasses and cataract surgeries. - RESPECTING OUR PLANET
Each pair of SOLOs is constructed using repurposed bamboo or recycled plastic which reduces our carbon footprint and prevents hundreds of pounds of virgin materials from being produced each year. In addition, SOLO Eyewear repurposes packing materials and defective sunglasses for parts as well as actively recycle. - SOURCING ETHICALLY
SOLO Eyewear works exclusively with manufacturers who have undergone and passed a comprehensive audit conducted by an American based auditing company. We source our sunglass cases and cords from a group of female artisans in Panajachel, Guatemala.
