Setting a new standard for sustainability with
planet-first, artisan-crafted, American-made products for the
home.
CHICAGO, July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to growing concerns
about environmental sustainability, RENEW by TRINITY, a pioneering
housewares brand, is taking a planet-first approach to home décor,
furnishings, kitchen accessories, and even pet items.
Each week around the globe 1.5 billion
single-use bamboo chopsticks are discarded, amounting to 5.4
trillion annually.
The company unveiled its first collection at this year's The
Inspired Home Show in Chicago,
featuring artisan-crafted products made from reclaimed bamboo
chopsticks. Launching on July 1,
RENEW aims to reshape our understanding of the relationship between
interior design and environmental responsibility.
Rooted in quality craftsmanship and mindful manufacturing, RENEW
focuses on minimizing its carbon footprint while creating local
jobs. The collection is designed and crafted at The Chop Shop,
RENEW's sustainability studio in North
Texas. Committed to upcycling, RENEW transforms single-use
chopsticks into eco-chic housewares and home accessories. Globally,
1.5 billion single-use bamboo chopsticks are discarded weekly,
amounting to 5.4 trillion annually. RENEW addresses this waste by
converting discarded materials into functional, design-forward
pieces for kitchen and living spaces.
RENEW's upcycling approach reduces waste and conserves natural
resources, with each piece telling a story of sustainability and
sophistication. Each houseware item comes with detailed
environmental impact metrics, showcasing the number of chopsticks
reclaimed and pounds of CO2 avoided through its production. For
instance, every small Gather + Graze Serving Board reclaims 265
chopsticks, equating to 28.44 pounds of CO2 avoided.
"Sustainability is at the core of our business model," said CEO
Cze-Chao Tam. "With RENEW, there is a huge opportunity to create
real impact at scale."
RENEW sources bamboo chopsticks from its partner, ChopValue, a
certified B Corporation committed to "urban harvesting" single-use
chopsticks from a network of restaurants across the USA and Canada. This partnership reduces
transportation-related CO2 emissions, material, and water waste.
RENEW's technology, paired with ChopValue's innovative processing,
transforms chopsticks into an engineered performance material.
RENEW's debut collection features innovative designs for every
home space, from minimalist coffee tables to kitchenware and even a
cleverly disguised pet crate doubling as a side table. Made with
non-toxic, food-grade, and formaldehyde-free finishes, every unique
and planet-friendly product is crafted to stand out and withstand
climate change. Each product is meticulously crafted with attention
to detail, balancing functionality, durability, and design.
RENEW also welcomes collaborations with brands and retailers to
design and craft bespoke products with meaningful environmental
impact. Visit our website to preview the full collection.
