Wastea qualified across multiple décor sourcing programs and was selected within catalogue-based supplier recommendations for several international regions.
SUSMATA developed Wastea with the ambition to move beyond concept status and into real commercial application contexts. The focus was on building a material solution that could meet the expectations of structured sourcing and décor programs in hospitality environments.
For international sourcing processes, innovation alone is not enough. Wastea needed to become a commercially usable, specification-relevant and program-ready material option that could fit established pricing structures, catalogue systems and supplier evaluation requirements.
Wastea successfully entered multiple décor sourcing processes and achieved qualified or awarded supplier status. The submitted material met the relevant program requirements, moving it beyond early-stage presentation and into formal commercial consideration.
In two additional sourcing programs, Wastea was selected for Secondary Recommendation in the corresponding product catalogues. This placed the material within a formal framework through which individual international markets could evaluate and select suppliers.
These outcomes do not represent a guaranteed rollout. They do, however, demonstrate that Wastea has advanced into sourcing environments where commercial terms, regional availability and supplier recommendation create the conditions for future adoption. At scale, that pathway could support a broader transition toward plant-based materials in hospitality interiors.
If you are looking for material solutions that can support formal sourcing, qualification and specification processes, we would be happy to start the conversation.
