Creating new from the old with unadulterated, au natural bits & pieces
 

upcycled transcendence

SUSTAINABLE | MINIMAL | MODERN

 
 

/_diverted material never looked so good_/

We call it upgraded recycling. Newd Elements creates new from the old by diverting materials from going to the landfill and transcending them into modern, functional goods - providing sustainable alternatives to the everyday essentials in life.

Materials range from unwanted (or discontinued) designer deadstock, abandoned textiles from the community, reclaimed zippers, organic cotton thread, organic hemp webbing and more. Our goal is to use as many non-toxic, minimally-impactful materials as possible.

WASTE IS A DESIGN FLAW

We hate waste. Humans are the only species that create it. So, we try and take that waste and transcend them into useful items for your everyday life.

Preserve additional resources from being used with these everyday serviettes made from rescued fabrics. Because they aren’t sourced from virgin materials, it saves us unnecessary CO2 from entering our atmosphere.

care // machine wash cold / tumble dry low or hang dry / iron if needed

∆ 13 in x 13 in // 33 cm x 33 cm

∆ Softer and friendlier to the planet than paper napkins

∆ Each paper napkin uses 24.5 gallons of water to get produced (not including the water to grow the tree), and releases 7.5 pounds of carbon emissions

Send to mend - LET’S TRY TO FIX IT

Since one of our main goals is to keep materials from entering the landfill, we want to help mend your Newd Elements item. This will help keep more materials from being trashed and pulling more resources from our land that aren’t needed.

SWEDEdishcloth® // together
from $6.50

Clean up that beautiful mess after family dinners, friendly libations, and date nights in, together. One SWEDEdishcloth® replaces 17 paper towel rolls in its lifetime. And once you’re through with it, it can be composted. (We suggest cutting it up into small pieces before tossing in the compost bin.)

care // upper most dish rack / squeeze + lay flat to dry

∆ Made from 70% wood pulp + 30% cotton

∆ Use one for the kitchen, the bathroom, and cleaning those plant leaves!

This is a space for creativity for all the leftovers of the unwanted textiles and cork. Highly individualistic pieces, maybe some fun shapes and not-so-straight forward ideas. It’s a place where Newd Elements studies and plays.
