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.

Initially launched in Asia, Avient’s expanded Edgetek™ Recycled Polycarbonate (REC PC) Solutions offer the high performance of a traditional polycarbonate (PC) with a significantly reduced carbon footprint based on their incorporation of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content at substantial levels. Sustainability: Up to 98% PCR content, significantly reducing carbon footprint, with impact measured using Avient’s ISO 14067-certified Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculator

Some of the changes that will come into force as a result include the expansion of the deposit system to all non-returnable plastic beverage bottles, with non-carbonated fruit juice packaging joining carbonated drinks packaging in the scheme. SmartHeat RHC also allows for a reduction in energy during the bottle blowing process, helping to reduce carbon emissions.

This reduction in energy consumption can not only cut costs, but it can also lower the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process. Reduced Carbon Footprint: Using recycle-enabling process aids can lower the energy consumption of the bottle-blowing process, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of the entire packaging lifecycle.
