The GRS-certified materials produced at the Taoyuan site have been certified to contain a required percentage of pre-consumer or post-consumer recycled content. The main goal of the GRS is to increase the use of recycled materials in products and minimize the harm to people and the environment caused by their production.

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. Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable materials solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

The new line was installed at Avient’s Asia regional headquarters in Shanghai to help meet the increased demand for composite materials in applications that require excellent impact strength, elastic modulus, and material strength. With the composites market transitioning from traditional materials like aluminum alloy or steel to long fiber composites, we are seeing an increasing need for an integrated approach that includes material formulation, component design, and forming process," says Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia at Avient.

In synthetic fibers, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material from plastic bottles was the first recycled content used in textile products such as sportswear and technical textiles. Because they are unique to a manufacturer and product line, the confirmation of their presence in the material will substantiate the origin of the material to the specified manufacturer. Taggants can be used for different materials and different industries.  

Finely dispersed TiO2, and color distribution with precision dosing, drive consistency, material efficiency, and sustainable consumption. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Avient is a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services that transform customer challenges into opportunities.

Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other traditional materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can help reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.
