Juffali & Brothers Company Limited to form a joint venture that will enable PolyOne to expand its Global Color and Additives business into the Middle East. All other investments are Level 1 and are valued based on quoted market prices.

They can eliminate dosage errors while reducing potential waste through overfilling. Additionally, plastic prefilled syringes can be color-coded for easy identification and customized to meet specific opacities in polypropylene (PP) resin, while laser marking additives can help create precise, solvent-free markings.  The components can also be formulated using chemical- and impact-resistant materials while providing a low coefficient of friction (COF) for improved accuracy, reliable sealing, and ease of use.

Avoid costly errors.

When separating stacked containers during food packaging filling operations, nested containers that stick together can cause costly manufacturing disruptions, such as picking errors, scrap generation, and equipment downtime.

These new materials and services focus on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy. Intended specifically for medical applications, they are now available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) in a range of vivid opaque and transparent colors. These new reSound materials utilize global formulation expertise, green manufacturing processes, and sourcing & logistics competence to lower net CO2 emissions while delivering comparable performance to traditional TPEs.

An increasing number of governmental regulatory agencies are requiring consumer-focused product companies to achieve higher levels of sustainability while fueling the growth of the circular economy. This can be challenging for many companies as they strive to comply with regulations while managing product development, production efficiencies, and costs. This is occurring globally and can range in the level of compliance required.
