For example, an EU directive for use of recycled PET (rPET) in beverage bottles will increase from 25 percent in 2025 to 30 percent in 2030. The new 4020G grade offers up to 50 percent lower haze and reduced impact on the PET recycle stream compared to previous grades, while maintaining the same reliable active oxygen scavenging performance. This solution improves the viability of rPET by reducing haze and reducing yellowing by 50 percent during the mechanical recycling process.

Homepage // News Center // New ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020R from Avient Improves Oxygen Scavenging at 100 Percent rPET Content Amosorb 4020R delivers full, consistent oxygen scavenging performance with 25 percent, 50 percent, and even 100 percent rPET content. Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

One final benefit is a reduction in the energy required to heat preforms, which fosters roughly 25 percent lower carbon emissions. The EU Council recently adopted a directive which requires PET bottles to include 30 percent of rPET by 2030. PolyOne employs approximately 5,600 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

Homepage // News Center // Appliance Vibration Reduced by 80 Percent with Versaflex VDT™ from PolyOne In an experiment completed by this customers’ design team, switching to Versaflex VDT TPE reduced vibration of the appliance by 80 percent versus TPV,” said Michelle Hearn, global marketing director, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne. PHOTO CAPTION: Supported by PolyOne’s material and design expertise, a major manufacturer switched to Versaflex VDT and reduced the vibration of their top load washing machine by 80 percent.

The manufacturer was working with Avient on other projects, so it brought together experts from both companies to work on identifying a material that would reduce warpage and improve productivity. Improved yield rates: Changing from a blended solution to a single material reduced the manufacturer’s scrap rate by 50 percent. Reduced drying time: The new material reduced drying time by 70 percent.

According to the American Chemistry Council, plastic components make up 50 percent of a vehicle’s volume, but only 10 percent of its weight.
