Plastic Bank’s Partnership with Advansa
INNOVATING SUSTAINABLE FIBRE ALTERNATIVES
ADVANSA is a leading polyester fibre supplier based in Germany, known for its commitment to sustainability. ADVANSA is making a positive social and environmental impact by providing a broad fibre portfolio of sustainable offerings for its partners and end consumers. Advansa has partnered with Plastic Bank since 2019, using Social Plastic® feedstock to develop sustainable fibres for their Aerelle® Blue and Suprelle® blue brands. The fibre is fully traceable, from the recycling of the bottle to the fibre fluff.
Making environmental and social impact
Advansa’s cumulative impact at the end of 2022 was over 1.5 million kilograms of plastic, equivalent to over 78 million plastic bottles. This partnership also helps collection members find a path out of poverty, creating environmental as well as social impact in communities with insufficient waste management systems.
It is estimated that up to 10 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean from coastal communities each year. Advansa is partnering with Plastic Bank to take action against plastic waste. Plastic collected by Plastic Bank is cleaned and mechanically recycled before being used by Advansa as a valuable raw material in fibre production.
