The global focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions has reached new heights, with consumers increasingly recognizing their individual responsibility in choosing products that prioritize the preservation of natural resources. As part of our commitment to sustainability, Aerelle® is proud to offer eco-responsible product options that do not compromise on comfort or affordability. Our environmentally friendly bedding product range, with a reduced carbon footprint, represents a significant step towards creating a more sustainable future. Through the utilization of sophisticated recycling technology and cutting-edge industrial processes, Aerelle® is able to transform PET polymer into polyester fibres while maintaining the exceptional quality of DACRON® filling fibres. The result is a lower carbon footprint that does not sacrifice comfort. An independent peer-reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study has demonstrated that ADVANSA's low carbon footprint fibre leads to an impressive 80% reduction in Global Warming Potential (GWP) and a 77% reduction in Non-renewable Energy Use (NRU). Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a metric developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to quantify the greenhouse effect caused by CO2 emissions, commonly referred to as a carbon footprint. Non-renewable Energy Use encompasses all energy consumed throughout the product's life cycle, derived from non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels. These resources cannot be replenished at a rate that sustains their consumption. ADVANSA has been dedicated to implementing a comprehensive sustainability strategy for many years, underscoring our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation.
