This multifaceted approach to addressing ESG matters reflects the company’s commitment to put thoughtful measures in place to tackle these difficult issues.

A leading supplier of advanced automotive technologies approached Avient to create a new olefinic material for an HVAC damper. In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material needed to resist warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts. In addition, the new material provides anti-static properties and low VOC levels, which helps the system adhere to regulations such as the Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standard.

BIC introduced its sustainability program more than 15 years ago. The company’s approach to product design is deeply rooted in the principles of the circular economy and BIC’s 4R philosophy: reducing the amount of raw materials, including as much recycled or alternative materials as possible, making more refillable products, and improving the recyclability of both products and packaging. When BIC engineers were challenged to incorporate more recycled materials in a new sustainable women’s razor, they found answers in Avient’s sustainable solutions.
