Replace Nylon, Reduce Carbon Footprint Reduced carbon footprint over PA66 and PA6 Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Explained

Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator: a tool that is third-party-certified by TÜV Rheinland, developed to evaluate the carbon footprint of Avient’s specialized and sustainable material solutions to help companies address the growing demand to create and meet sustainability commitments, understand the environmental impact of products, and navigate the complex landscape of reducing carbon emissions, particularly for upstream materials, and aligns with the ISO 14067:2018 standard for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product   reSound™ BIO TPEs: contains 40 to 90 percent bio-based content within a wide hardness range (which can help reduce carbon footprint) and has performance characteristics that are comparable to standard 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  

Available in four overmolding grades compatible with polypropylene (PP), and one grade that is suited for overmolding onto ABS, all grades are formulated for durability, delivering property retention and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.
