Elcam, an innovative company in the filling sector, has won over the market in fifty years of activity by investing primarily in research and development to offer materials with high performance and focused on sustainability.

Sustainability is, in fact, for Elcam a value to defend and a guiding principle for the creation of eco-friendly materials, advanced foams, biodegradable materials and fibers derived from recycled plastic collected from the oceans, as in the case of the new recycled polyester filling Advaterra®.

Advaterra, the fiber that saves the oceans

Advaterra® is the recycled polyester filling that boasts a global holistic certification, the GRS (Global Recycle Standard), which aims to raise awareness and promote greater environmental responsibility and more sustainable development within the textile industry.

It is a’filling obtained and created thanks to recycled plastic, supplied by Plastic Bank, a global organization known for its environmental mission: preventing waste from reaching beaches and oceans. Once collected, the plastic is cleaned and recycled, becoming Social Plastic®: in this way, not only the environment is protected, but also the living conditions of people in developing countries.

The plastic is then transformed into flakes that are processed until they become fibers that are soft, fluffy, comfortable, able to ensure a well-balanced microclimate.
