Scope 2: indirect emissions for polymer manufacturers – typically involving energy produced, such as steam or electricity during manufacturing.  Amongst all of these activities in the value chain, the EPA states that the highest account of emissions derives from the transportation of goods (28%), electricity (24%), and manufacturing (12%). There are a number of options available when using sustainable raw materials in your final formulations.

The Avient team used their extensive knowledge and experience working with high-density polymers to develop a specialized Gravi-Tech™ high-density polymer composite that met PolyCase’s needs and fit the profile of their proprietary injection molding process. By replacing lead with the Gravi-Tech formulation, PolyCase Ammunition avoids the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead.
