Published purpose

There are more market ready sustainable material solutions for replacing plastics than ever before, but these innovative solutions are not making it past the groundbreaking headlines and into actual products. A significant barrier to entry is the fragmented supply chain and disparate knowledge for processing and producing products with biomaterials. Materia is looking to solve that, in part, through a dynamic two-sided marketplace that can intelligently connect product developers from consumer brands to the right suppliers and manufacturers to bring their product to life using sustainable materials. This project centers on taking that marketplace from a concept to a deployed software service available to empower the supply chain.
