Ākina Impact Supplier Spotlight: Anew
Jayden Klinac, founder and Managing Director of Anew.
Meet Anew, one of Ākina’s Certified Impact Suppliers. Impact Suppliers are organisations that deliver a range of positive social, environmental, and cultural outcomes through selling their products and services.
Anew is a problem solving company and single use bottles are the problem. They want to mitigate single-use, the extraction of finite resources, carbon emissions and waste. Anew created a plant-based, low carbon reusable bottle with a circular end of life system to help solve this. Their mission is to revolutionise consumption through circularity.
Their impact areas are:
Climate action
Waste and resources
About the bottle
Plant based circular bottle filled with water
Reusable with the same durability as a normal oil based plastic bottle of its kind
Lightweight and dishwasher safe
Can be customised to brand colour
Smart collection bins for recycling
“I pulled into a petrol station and found myself frustrated at the fact that if I wanted to purchase water, my only option was an oil-based plastic bottle that I needed for a day, yet I knew it would exist in the environment forever.”
