Newe

Newe operates an online rental service that provides equipment, furniture and electronics for events, trainings, fairs and other uses across Spain. Customers select items from an online catalogue, request a quote and receive delivery, on-site support and collection. The platform handles logistics, quality control and customer support for rented products.

Circularity Relevance

Core

Newe's core activity is renting physical products (access-based use) which directly supports circular economy practices by extending product use and reducing consumption of new goods [Source: Newe homepage].

Circular Role

DirectEnabler

Newe directly provides rentals, delivery and collection services (it is the operator of the rental service rather than a pure software supplier).

Circular Type

CircularRetailer

• Products

• B2B

• B2C

Newe is a single-organisation rental retailer (category: CircularRetailer) dealing with physical products. The site targets businesses (events, fairs, brands) and also individual customers (home renovations, family events), so matchmaking is classified as B2B and B2C (evidence: product pages and city-specific rental pages). Confidence is Medium due to mixed B2B/B2C signals.

R Strategy

R1 - Rethink, R3 - Reuse

Primary strategies: R1 (Rethink/access-based model - renting rather than owning) and R3 (Reuse - same products used by multiple customers). These are explicit from the rental business model described on the site.

Circular Business Model

Rental / Leasing, Circular Logistics

Primary business model is rental/leasing (online rental catalogue and quote flow). The site explicitly states delivery and collection and that the company handles logistics, supporting 'Circular Logistics' as a secondary model [Source: Newe homepage].

Organisational Type

ForProfit

Commercial rental offering with public pricing/quote flow and corporate contact details; LinkedIn lists Newe as a company. No evidence of non-profit or public ownership.

Sector

Retail & Consumer Goods

Website presents Newe as a commercial rental provider for events, furniture, electronics and other consumer products; this aligns with 'Retail & Consumer Goods' (rental/resale/redistribution of products) [Source: Newe homepage].

Geographical Reach

National

• Spain

Site provides location-specific pages for Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Sevilla, indicating national coverage within Spain (multiple city pages) [Source: Newe site].

Hardware Component

None

Newe rents standard products (furniture, electronics, event equipment) but does not supply or require specialised hardware devices as part of its service offering; no evidence of proprietary IoT or industrial hardware.

Tech Map Relevance

Newe operates a digital rental service (online catalogue, quote request and logistics) that directly enables access-based reuse - therefore meets inclusion for the Circular Tech Map. Evidence: company website and LinkedIn page. Confidence Medium because the platform is a single-company retailer rather than a multi-party marketplace, but functionality aligns with map criteria.
