Last year, we made substantial progress by reaching 31%
from renewable sources, and we have updated our goal this year to reach 60% of our
electricity demand from renewable sources by 2030 and achieve 100% renewable
energy by 2050.
Description of influence
Products and
services
Yes Avient has identified opportunities and developed market
strategies to help customers reduce their carbon footprint
by offering recycled materials, bio-renewable solutions,
enable renewable energy, or reduce energy required to
manufacture their products or light weighting of
transportation vehicles to name a few.
We have eight
primary ways to do this, by combining our material science expertise with the inherent
sustainable benefits of polymers: light-weighting, reduced energy use, volatile organic
compound reduction, improved recyclability, bio-derived content, eco-conscious
composition, renewable energy applications and reduced material requirements.
