The PA6 grade contains 76% PIR, and the PA66 grade contains 78% PIR content, resulting in up to 81% lower cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint (PCF) than traditional alternatives made without recycled content. These super tough nylons were developed to provide our customers new, recycled, lower carbon footprint options for high-performance material needs,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculator: a service to enable customers to determine the carbon footprint of their solutions and help evaluate which sustainable solutions can offer a lower environmental impact   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

 Hiformer™ Liquid Masterbatches: offer a unique combination of chemistry, engineering, and customizable colorant and additive solutions for the specific needs of the application that encourages top performance, flexibility, and sustainability for packaging that can help reduce overall carbon footprint Avient is proud to offer sustainability-promoting, high- performing additives that can meet our customers’ most pressing flexible packaging needs, including improving a product’s carbon footprint, distinctiveness, and performance.” Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Following a period of poly-crisis that led to adopting coping mechanisms and showing resiliency, people often enter a period of experimentation as they seek solutions to global challenges such as carbon emissions, rising power demand, digitalization, and an increase in artificial intelligence (AI). The unpredictable evolution of AI factors in both stories and a need to favor solutions that positively impact carbon emissions.    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Secondly, the use of the polyketone base resin offers a reduced product carbon footprint (PCF) compared to competitive nylon (PA) base resins (PA), helping to improve sustainability throughout the product life cycle. This combination of critical flame performance without PFAS, long fiber for high-impact performance, and polyketone for a lower product carbon footprint allows us to help customers improve their products while also lessening the collective impact on the environment.” Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Gordon Composites™ Thermoset Laminates & Barstock: continuous glass and carbon fiber barstock, laminates, and composite springs Fiber-Line™ Engineered Performance Enhancing Fiber Processes: including Coating, Twisting, and customized Braiding aramid, glass, carbon, HMPE, and LCP fibers Upcoming high-performance carbon composite technologies

This includes lower-carbon alternatives to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) without sacrificing performance, portfolio expansions including bio-renewable feedstock and post-industrial or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and new materials and services focused on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy. reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs: These TPE formulations offer an industry-first cradle-to-gate negative, neutral, or near-zero product carbon footprint (PCF) while delivering comparable performance to traditional TPEs. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

To support the principles of a circular economy, however, there is a clear need to increase the use of recycled PET (rPET) and reduce our carbon footprint; but achieving this is not without its challenges. We offer solutions that allow for higher use rates while also reducing carbon emissions, helping to improve the sustainability of the PET bottle and drive the circular economy. Color consistency; recycle stream impact ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat RHC Tint or SmartHeat RHC Tone Recycle-friendly color or toner containing SmartHeat RHC, which helps to reduce carbon emissions and improve the quality and performance of rPET, allowing for higher levels of rPET to be used.

The automated pultrusion process fabricates continuous glass or carbon fiber-reinforced, constant cross-section profiles with consistent, uniform properties. Each cradle brace is a two-foot long, rectangular bar with a “U” shape machined into our engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.
