2030 Sustainability Goals
Avient was proud to announce our 2030 Sustainability Goals three years ago to share our commitment to drive sustainability for all of our stakeholders. We assembled internal Sustainability teams to drive initiatives and workstreams to meet these targets, and we remain committed to aggressively pursuing their attainment through internal rigor, investment and innovation. In 2022, we updated our Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Waste to Landfill goals. Our Greenhouse Gas Emissions goal is now 55%. For Waste to Landfill, we have revised the goal to a 3% annual reduction of waste to landfill intensity. Learn more about our approaches to accomplishing these commitments throughout this report.
As a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, Avient will collaborate to develop and implement solutions to end plastic waste with over 70 members across the value chain. The Alliance will invest $1.5 billion over five years in innovation, infrastructure, education and clean-up.
2022 Update:
The Alliance is executing on more than 50 projects in 30 countries, and diverted more than 33,000 tons of plastic waste away from the environment and recycled more than 20,000 tons.*
