See that Teak is used to make furniture, and then Clipboard was developed to make furniture as well.

What will happen if newer materials were never developed?

The place of materials such as turning plastic jugs into durable artificial lumber if newer materials were never developed then nobody would change or to provide use for anything except burning it works well in many places.
The same old way or things would be usable for otherwise unusable raw materials that otherwise not be done the place of solid gold candlesticks floating around unless youre.

Great example. Teak (like many traditional resources) is almost extinct. It cannot hope to regrow its former population or range. It is not a viable source material for anything and arguably never was, due to its centuries slow reproductive rate and also accelerating destruction of the very land area and water resource.
- What will happen…? Less and less until: No materials in => no product out.
- Why do we… same kind of product?
hmm… implies other questions , like, why do we want to make it? Why are we exhausting one resource (say the whales, but can extend to almost any industry), then switching to the next to be exhausted (codfish), and so on (herrring) to extinction of all (huge amounts of abandoned factories, productive not so long ago, can be seen on a trip along many coastlines )? Today large codfish, large hardwood trees , large bison herds, all former pillars of world economies do not exist.
Is it a kind of insanity that we make more of the same when we could easily use our ingenuity to find non destructive ways to live?
Do we really need “the same kind of product”?
If so, do we really need to make so much so wastefully?
