into creative upcycling solutions
Why AVEMA?
Upcycling solutions
AVEMA is a pioneer in sustainable solutions through upcycling. We give new life to natural by-products and residual materials from various industries, transforming them into innovative and creative products. Much like a butterfly's metamorphosis, the items we craft for you undergo a profound transformation: through upcycling, we repurpose by-products and waste materials, giving them renewed meaning and value.
Upcycling
We utilise residual materials from industrial production to develop new products and ideas, optimising resource use along with energy and water efficiency.
Natural fibre
Natural fibres maintain their stability even after being reused, offering new application possibilities as part of composite materials. AVEMA technologies provide these recyclable materials with a second life.
Added value
We blend sustainability with cost-effectiveness. Our products provide your company with a competitive edge, as each item delivers at least one of these advantages.
Our mission
Reduce waste
We are committed to innovation, dedication, and trust in our pursuit of creating sustainable solutions together. At AVEMA, we transform industrial waste into new products to conserve resources and protect the environment. By closely examining the product life cycle, we implement eco-friendly changes and continuously develop products that minimise waste and optimise raw material usage.
"Sustainability does not impose technical or qualitative limitations. At AVEMA, my role involves creating products from existing materials that possess equivalent or even superior properties."
Kai Helfersdorfer | Head of Technology and Development
Avema incorporates biodegradable ingredients in all its products, ensuring they decompose naturally and contribute to environmental protection.
We produce exclusively in Europe to ensure high quality standards and support local economic cycles.
Avema prioritises resource-efficient production, maximising material usage while minimising waste.
Our Zero Waste Journey
Pioneer in sustainable solutions
AVEMA, a subsidiary of BADER, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of premium leather for the automotive industry, was founded in 2021 with the objective to sustainably repurpose waste materials from leather production through upcycling.
As early as 2017, BADER developed from its own by-products Kollamat, the first market-ready product designed for tool handles. The company later transitioned to bio-based, biodegradable materials. With the launch of Calor, BADER leveraged leather waste for sound and heat insulation solutions.
The establishment of AVEMA in 2021 marked a pivotal moment, creating a European hub for recycling waste materials and driving innovation for a resource-efficient future.
Today, AVEMA offers a range of sustainable products such as fertilisers and insulation materials and is a pioneer in promoting a circular economy to reduce industrial waste.
