Connect your biomaterial capacity with the teams that need it.
Materia’s mission is to put biomaterials into more of the products people use every day. That’s why listing your grades is free, so R&D and sourcing teams can find them the moment they’re looking for sustainable alternatives.
Where great materials stall, and how MAPS helps
Capacity is ahead of demand
Plants run below capacity while cold outreach and long sales cycles tie up your team, and the buyers most likely to adopt your grade are rarely the ones you can reach.
- Get matched with brands and manufacturers actively sourcing biomaterials
- Receive inquiries that arrive with targets and expected volumes
- Reach new markets and applications beyond your current accounts
You can’t see where your material wins
Datasheets say what your resin does, not who needs it. You learn a buyer’s requirements after the spec is closed, and every performance question costs another round of lab work.
- Benchmark your grades against competing materials on key specs
- See the applications and markets where your material performs best
- Understand buyer demand by volume, so forecasts rest on data
Fit is proven one costly trial at a time
Brands expect drop-in performance, neat resin rarely meets a converter’s line speed or barrier targets, and each additive change means another compounding trial.
- Machine learning recommends additives and processing improvements
- Meet demanding brand specifications with fewer trials
- Support your price premium with performance data
Credibility takes longer than quality
Buyers qualify the supplier as hard as the resin, qualification runs for seasons, and one SKU launch rarely builds a pipeline.
- Build visibility through case studies, whitepapers and co-development
- Grow a pipeline of applications across brands and sectors
- Let our team support product development while you focus on your core technology
We’ve been on your side of the table
Before Materia, our founders ran a biomaterials company that supplied Fortune 500 companies with multimillion-dollar orders. We know what it takes to get a new material qualified and adopted, and we built MAPS to shorten that path.
How it works
1. List your material
Add your grades, set your target markets and control exactly what’s shown.
2. Get matched
MAPS assesses technical fit against live buyer requirements and connects you with qualified brands and manufacturers.
3. Grow
Buyers connect with you directly, supported by our technical team, and you own every relationship.
What makes a strong listing
- Verified documentation
- Capacity by grade
- Lead times, including low-volume orders
- Typical price ranges
