ColorForward™ 2025: the 19th edition of Avient’s color trend forecast developed to inspire brand owners and designers of plastic products, featuring 20 colors and effects derived from societal trends likely to influence consumer color preferences and the design of consumer products in the future PCR Color Prediction Service: a digital tool that can illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials, which can help simplify the overall color decision-making process during product development and launch

Product developers reported that they needed a better TPE to provide superior bonding performance with ABS without requiring high temperature and pressure during 2K molding. High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability.

Throughout the week, Avient is showcasing its additives developed to support sustainability in the flexible packaging industry, including: Cesa™ Nox A4R Additive for Enhanced Recycling: developed to stabilize recycled polyolefins and protect them from degradation during processing, enabling the incorporation of increased recycled content into packaging films, maintaining high-quality levels of PCR and helping promote a more circular economy
