We have a waste problem
Global waste accounts for 10% of annual greenhouse gas emissions, while global manufacturing contributes 12%—both enormously damaging to the environment.
In the UK alone, 200 million tonnes of waste are produced annually, yet 90% of all consumed products are still made from virgin materials.
This is where we step in. Renee Materials is the UK’s first digital marketplace for circular material trade. We reduce waste and cut emissions on a large scale by offering businesses offcuts, surplus stock, and leftover materials for reuse.
Think of it as the ‘Too-Good-To-Go’ for materials. A treasure trove for all creatives—featuring high-quality materials like paper, wood, textiles, leather, glass, metal, and yarn.
With Renee, everybody wins!

FAQs about Renee
Think of it as ‘Too-Good-To-Go’—but for materials. Businesses upload their leftover materials for creatives to purchase. Materials can be ordered online via our webshop (hub.reneematerials.co.uk) and will be shipped to the customers, UK wide. Materials can also be bought in one of our in-person Hubs in London (Shoreditch and Hackney Wick).
We currently only work with companies. However, if you like to get rid of your creative supplies – please get in touch via Instagram (@renee_materials) or email (hello@reneematerials.co.uk) by sending us pictures that show the quantity and quality of your leftovers. You can then drop them off at one of our London Hubs, as an exchange you receive Renee-tokens which you can use to buy other supply at our store.
Oh, we are very pleased to hear that you want to become part of our mission fighting waste! We are always looking for Renee-ambassadors, so please get in touch and we can discuss how your contribution can help best.
