In a world where sustainability meets innovation, a remarkable revelation emerged from the heart of the tea industry.
From the remnants of industrial tea waste, a true game-changer is born - called WASTEA.
It is not just a material; it is a sustainable, vegan, plant and bio bases revolution that redefines whats possible.
In the heart of our innovation journey lies a commitment to a greener planet.
The story of WASTEA starts with the idea that waste can be reborn into something useful, sustainable and can replace environmental harming materials / products.
With every meter of WASTEA, we bring forth a symbol of renewal and rebirth, much like the tea which it originates.
WASTEA is not just a replacement for old-fashioned materials; it is a beacon of hope for a future where high end material and sustainability walk hand in hand.
It is a new generation material (NGM), a chameleon of the upholstery and fashion world , ready to adapt to all product categories.
