WAS TEA
now new gen material.
Converting the class 4 tea-waste into an alternate leather for many industries.
Class 4 tea-waste can’t be used for anything; the caffein percentage is so high that it is neither possible to use it in the food industry nor is it possible to use as fodder. Since it is not suitable to generate Bio-Energy, it is the last point of its chain with no future life-cycle.

UP-CYLCED
to a new life.
Tea is a 100% Ecological friendly product.
Tea waste has no further usage and makes up to 10% of the tea industry. WASTEA uses the class 4 tea waste and upcycles it to a first class leather alternative.
There are no Pesticides or harmful chemical used in the production of Tea! Due to the extraordinary geographical location of its cultivation area, there is no need for watering during the entire growing process of tea.
- 100% Local Resource
- No limitaion in availability
- Turkey is the 4th largest Tea production country in the World
- 90% of tea production will be used for Domestic Market (only 10% for exports)
- Over 220.000 tons of tea per year in north-eastern region of Turkey
UNLIMITED
usage areas.
Alternative to animal leather!
The leather replacement is made partly of TEA WASTE.
WASTEA can be used in many different areas. For each area we have created the most suitable combination of base fabric & upper layer with high plant/bio based content. It can be used for producing shoes, bags, belts, wallets, labels, accessories, garments, automotive, aircraft & yacht upholstery, mobile phone and tablet covers, packaging, furniture, decoration materials, and many more…

RE-INVENTED
sustainability.
100% sustainable, vegan, plant- and biobased.
Thanks to our interest in the latest technology and our experience in the textile sector, we are able to separate the layers of WASTEA.
First, we use the lower fabric base to generate new fabrics; then, the upper layer is shredded into fine particles and later mixed up with cement and other natural elements.
The new material is called WASMENT. It is an advanced cement alternative with extensive features, such as Insulation (heat and cold), durability and hardness. Our Aim is to build Schools with WASMENT in the near Future.

HOW IT'S
made.
Tea plants grow in high altitude and cool places.
First the tea leaves are collected and passed to the production stage. There, the by-product of tea is dry class 4 waste, which has no further use in the industry.
The tea wastes are collected and processed to be converted into leather.
This is achieved by adding our SCAY-U and bio passed polyurethane into the wastes. Afterwards the product is finished in customer special requirements and embossed with the desired design and texture.
