In addition to lighter weight, FRP composites enable longer lasting parts that are stronger than traditional metals, and offer fatigue and corrosion resistance.  

Avient does currently use a small about of fluoropolymers and PFAS containing additives as raw materials which represent less than 3% of our global product portfolio.

Not surprisingly, the healthcare market has additional regulatory requirements for those creating medical products and devices.

Avient Climate-related Scenario Analysis Summary SCOPE & TIME HORIZON AVIENT SCENARIO NET ZERO FUTURE PLEDGING PROGRESS STEADFAST POLICY CONVENTION 1.3-1.5°C 1.9-2.3°C 2.4-2.8°C TRANSITION RISK Net Zero Emissions Scenario Announced Pledges Scenario Stated Policies Scenario (IEA WEO 2021 1 scenarios) (NZE) | 1.4°C (APS) | 2.1°C (STEPS) | 2.6°C Emissions peak at 2050 and slowly decline through 2100 Emissions continue to rise beyond 2100 at slower rates Emissions continue to rise beyond 2100 at current rates BUSINESS IMPLICATIONS Increased transition risk: Business impacted by climate policies, carbon prices, market pressures and technological advancements Increased physical risk: Business impacted by direct damages and indirect discruption assocated with severe changes in climate driven weather events · Highly regulated policy environment · Moderate policy regulation · Few changes to current policy settings · Ambitious; net zero commitments achieved at most all levels · Government commitments and National Determined Contributions are achieved · Not all stated commitments are achieved · Improved air pollution in advanced and emerging market & developing economies · Rising air pollution levels especially in emerging market and developing economies · Doubling of the frequency of extreme heat events by 2050 and 120% increase in intensity & rising air pollution levels especially in emerging market and developing economies · Expectation of signifcant capital allocation for innovative product design, energy efficiency investments, and clean electrification of operations · Additional levels of R&D investment will be required to contribute to and attain announced commitments Additional renewable energy will still be needed in Europe to offset the related grid emissions as will we also need to identify similar outlets in the Americas and Asia Pacific
