Reducing consumption from non-renewable energy sources is a key part of Avient’s path to carbon neutrality by 2050. We have set a goal to reduce Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% and achieve operational carbon neutrality by 2050. We know the path to achieving carbon neutrality will not be easy.

Avient Announces Industry-First Carbon Negative and Carbon Neutral Thermoplastic Elastomers   reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs: These TPE formulations offer an industry-first cradle-to-gate negative, neutral, or near-zero product carbon footprint (PCF) while delivering comparable performance to traditional 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 

How are carbon fiber and fiberglass composites made? If you’ve heard terms like “pultruded carbon fiber,” this simply means that a carbon fiber composite has been made through the process of pultrusion.  Organo sheets are another kind of laminate and can be made from carbon, glass, or aramid fiber fabrics. 

Fiber reinforcements include long glass fiber, long carbon fiber and long hybrid (glass + carbon) fiber.   Synergistically combines long carbon and long glass fiber together in a unified material to optimize performance and cost Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced metal steering column supports and lowered weight by 50%

If local and regional customers require, these Complēt and OnForce formulations can be tailored to meet specific application requirements by utilizing a range of engineering resins, from polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) to polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polyphthalamide (PPA) for power tools, sports equipment, utility vehicle, furniture, and outdoor recreation applications. 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
