POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – February 9, 2026 – Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, today launched an expansion of its Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations with the Nymax™ REC 6000 High Impact Series - an impact-modified, recycled nylon line created for manufacturers seeking sustainable, high-performance materials. This new series, featuring 22 grades, can help customers support circular economy goals and lower product carbon footprint (PCF) while maintaining performance on par with prime nylon grades.

As manufacturers increasingly focus on sustainability, Nymax™ REC 6000 High Impact Series thermoplastics offer a compelling alternative to virgin nylon. These materials incorporate 42% to 93% post-industrial recycled (PIR) content, helping customers to meet their sustainability targets without compromising on impact resistance, durability, or dimensional stability.

The new series includes 22 formulations: eight unfilled grades and 14 glass-fiber-reinforced grades with up to 30% glass fiber. Each grade offers tailored impact performance for a wide range of temperatures and requirements. Supported by Avient’s PCF Calculator, which is TÜV-certified and aligned with ISO 14067, these materials deliver up to 83% reduction in carbon footprint versus prime versions and help meet regulatory requirements for sustainable sourcing. Target uses include applications across the automotive, building and construction, and consumer industries.

“Avient is proud to deliver solutions that align with our customers’ sustainability objectives while maintaining the high performance they expect,” said Hermann Fuechter, Senior Marketing & Product Manager, Specialty Engineered Materials EMEA at Avient. “The Nymax™ REC High Impact portfolio demonstrates our commitment to innovating and advancing sustainable material options that meet market demands.”
