TURNKEY SYSTEM PLASTIWARD is a robust, customizable and cost-effective turnkey system consisting of: · proprietary taggants integrated directly within the polymer masterbatch · a handheld detector offering instant fake- checking in the field · a secure monitoring platform on smartphone or tablet capturing field inspection data, transmitted in real time COMBINED EXPERTISE At its core, PLASTIWARD brings together SICPA’s trusted expertise in brand protection technologies and processes, and Avient’s recognized expertise in polymer modification with colour and performance additives.

Moreover, the innovative and collaborative nature of the pipelining system can increase future pipeline safety, limit environmental, climate, and public impact, and provide a cost-saving solution to energy providers around the globe.

In 2022, Avient is instituting an internal cost of carbon to better prioritize low-carbon investments. As such, the annual cost of response is Avient’s 2021 R&D spend $83 million * 1 year = $83,000,000. For instance, energy costs represent a substantial part of our manufacturing costs and emerging regulation changes that counter the adverse effects of climate change can have an important impact on these costs.
