Anew

ANEW (Asset Network for Education Worldwide, Inc.) began in 2005 with a vision and mission to improve industry practice by extending the life cycle of surplus items through reuse, repurposing and recycling. Typically, when a company moves out of its tenant space, the surplus furniture left behind is picked up by a construction demolition crew and h... auled to landfill. ANEW saw the wastefulness of this, recognized the value of the surplus and reinvented the liquidation process with Surplus Stewardship ®. Through this process ANEW works with companies to steward their surplus furniture and other items away from landfill and back into their communities by matching their surplus to charities, non-profits, public agencies and underserved communities. ANEW educates through action by raising awareness of the social, environmental and economic benefits of Surplus Stewardship®. Every year companies working with ANEW divert, on average, more than 3 million pounds of surplus from landfill. Since its inception ANEW has stewarded surplus to more than 2,000 recipient organizations in 20 countries. ANEW is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Los Angeles, CA. In 2015 ANEW expanded its business model and established an additional presence in Santa Fe, New Mexico. ANEW is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to growing and strengthening community-based organizations by matching gently used office furniture, appliances and equipment to them using an inventory of items we receive from companies when moving, expanding or right-sizing their businesses. ANEW and its Surplus Stewardship® program guide a responsible, transparent, verifiable and sustainable process. Surplus Stewardship® increases the potential for reuse, resale, repurposing and recycling of corporate surplus items to support a circular economy, which promotes vital public and human services worldwide. We are making a positive and lasting impact on society and the planet every day. We are ANEW, doing what's right with what's left®. 2017 Mayor's Sustainability ...Read More
