Eco Origin™

The ECO Origin™ Program by ADVANSA represents a new beginning for our premium high-tech fibres. Made for comfort and sustainability, our superior polyester fibres are remade responsibly from recycled raw materials such as plastic bottles or textile waste. Our raw materials are consciously sourced from local community bottle collection or from ocean bound plastic bottles or from recycled scraps of waste from the textile industry. These are processed into plastic flakes that we use to make our premium polyester fibrefill.

Sustainable Development Goals 2020

Advansa has been actively committed to implementing sustainable development goals since many years. These goals form a holistic concept that relates to the continuous improvement of safety aspects, health and the environment and is an integral part of our business policy.

 

Global Recycled Standard 2012

ADVANSA has been awarded the prestigious GRS certification for its Eco Origin™ low carbon fibre technology certifying the use of post consumer recycled material. The GRS is intended to meet the need of companies looking to verify the recycled content of their products (both finished and intermediate products) and to verify responsible social, environmental, and chemical practices in the production of these products.

The objectives of the GRS are to define requirements to ensure accurate content claims, good working conditions, and that harmful environmental and chemical impacts are minimized.

 

EU Ecolabel

The filling fibres awarded the European Union Ecolabel have passed rigorous compliance tests in a process verified by an independent, publicly accountable body, ensuring scientific reliability and environmental credibility.

 

Öko-Tex®

Öko-Tex® certification is awarded by the International Öko-Tex® Association of independent test institutes, and offers consumers a valuable product safety guarantee. Certification covers aspects such as colourfast capability, as well as avoidance of irritation, allergy and potential cancer risks.

Sustainable Development Goals

ADVANSA has been actively committed to implementing sustainable development goals for many years

No poverty
With the processing of collected plastic waste into ADVA® Blue and Aerelle® Blue, ADVANSA contributes to create a social and environmental impact in coastal regions with high levels of poverty and with some highest rates of plastic pollution by turning plastic waste into currency, thus opening new opportunities for people in poverty.
Good health and well-being
ADVANSA is committed to health of his customers and end-users who benefit from products regularly tested according to standards like FDA and European legislation for food contact materials, and numerous voluntary schemes like OekoTex standard 100. Products certified with German „Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.“ certification are identified as good for the back. Employees’ health is also protected through a „zero accident“ strategy.
Gender equality
ADVANSA considers the principle of equal opportunities for all employees irrespective of their gender, parentage or religion, as an essential component of the company culture. Respect, tolerance and promotion of the individual potentials of all - female and male employees - contribute to company’s success.
Decent work and economic growth
ADVANSA provides a decent workplace and a focus on zero accident policy with world class safety for all employees. Prevent discrimination, support full social rights and never engage in commercial activities whenever there is risk of child labor.
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
ADVANSA supports sustainable industry standards. Diversify product portfolio to include evermore recycled offerings. Provide jobs for local economy while investing more to maintain her position as a competitive player.
Reduced inequalities
ADVANSA puts greater efforts to reduce inequality, especially through its partnership with Plastic Bank. People collecting the plastic get the opportunity to open a secure digital banking account as for the collection of plastic they get rewards through the blockchain-based platform – having better opportunities to invest more in health, education, social insurance, etc.
Responsible consumption and production
ADVANSA focuses on the use of raw materials and the associated environmental impact throughout the entire value chain. ADVANSA has been dealing with recycling for many years and has set itself the task of making secondary raw material applications with the highest quality requirements.
Climate action
ADVANSA´s commitment to strengthen the future for next generations through a sustainable production is of utmost significance. Our daily work is to reduce our environmental impact and improve the sustainability of all our activities and products. ADVANSA's environmental performance includes a recycling programme that converts post-consumer secondary raw materials - plastic bottles and also textile waste into high quality polyester fibre. Remaining CO2 emissions from manufacturing can be compensated by investing in climate change projects. Since 2019 ADVANSA has been using valuable Social Plastic® as a raw material to tackle plastic waste before entering our oceans each year and against poverty in developing regions.
Life below water
Through the strategic partnership with Plastic Bank and with sustainable products and production innovations, ADVANSA is processing plastic waste collected from beaches and coasts worldwide before entering the oceans, which would have dramatic consequences for the marine ecosystem and considerable ecologic damage.
Partnerships for the goals
We believe that the global sustainability goals can only be reached together. New eco-friendly products are developed with our suppliers like Plastic Bank, customers and research institutes. In cooperation with Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V., ADVANSA supports customers’ health.

Sustainability for future generations

The ADVANSA Sustainability Program is a holistic company approach to continuously improve upon safety, health and environment (S.H.E). Our goal is to eliminate waste, occupational hazards and environmental pollution while making careful use of our environmental resources for the betterment of generations to come. 

 

ADVANSA controls and analyse possible risks in all operations undertaken. All employees are expected to comply with company procedures and values. Safety or environmental incidences are rare occurences in which lessons must be learned. Accident and health protection off-site are also very important to us and they are regulary monitored as well.

 

ADVANSA is committed to creating a safe, healthy and sustainable environment for its employees on and off-site. They are trained on occupational safety and health on a regular basis and we believe this plays a major role in the overall safety and success of the company.

ADVANSA's goal is to provide sustainable products by constantly improving the environmental quality of its products. Environmental contributions include a recycling program that converts post-consumer secondary raw materials into high-quality polyester. Other factors in environmental performance include measures and investments to reduce waste, water and energy.
