ADVA®tex is a comfort filling fibre made entirely from recycled textile scraps from the textile industry. The fibres help minimize CO2 emissions during the production of mattresses, cushions, and printed duvets. This significantly reduces dependency on new raw materials and plastics - without compromising on quality or comfort.

To produce the polyester fibre, pre-consumer and post-industrial textile waste is collected and sorted by type. In the next processing step, the materials are melted down and transformed into so-called "popcorn" (irregular PES pellets). Through extrusion, these are further processed into fine, high-quality staple fibres. The brown colour of ADVA®tex results from the manufacturing process which makes it specially suited for furniture and mattress end uses.

Through the different steps of the entire supply chain, from the collection of textiles waste up to the manufacturing process, ADVA®tex benefits from full traceability and transparency, meeting strict sustainability standards.

The ADVA®tex Recycling Process:

  • Collection of pre-consumer and post-industrial textile waste
  • Sorting by textile type
  • Melting and transformation into popcorn-like material
  • Extrusion into high-quality staple fibre

100 % Textile-to-Textile (T2T) Recycling
The new ADVA®tex filling fibre is made by processing pre-consumer textile waste such as fabric pieces, old fibres, and offcuts from the apparel industry. These are then converted into valuable raw materials to produce high-quality fibres with exceptional comfort for mattresses, cushions, and printed duvets.

ADVA®tex fibres meet the growing demand for recycled products, especially in textile-to-textile (T2T) recycling. Manufacturers and retailers can enhance their sustainability initiatives while offering their customers superior comfort.

Each year, approximately 5.8 million tons of textiles are discarded in Europe alone, equivalent to about 11.3 kg per person. Globally, this waste problem is even more worrying, with one truckload of textiles ending up in landfills or being incinerated every second. To combat this growing environmental challenge, ADVANSA is committed to greater sustainability by offering a new high-tech fibre made entirely from textile industry waste. The result is a GRS- and Oeko-Tex-certified filling fibre meeting the highest quality and comfort standards.
