Our waste management approach adds value by reducing the risk of environmental harm, as well as costs associated with waste management. Additionally, Avient introduced Waste Project Awards for projects completed in 2024 in categories such as Most Creative Solution, Best Low- or No-Cost, People’s Choice, and Best Overall. In addition to ongoing operator training, we conduct regular assessments of our management system procedures to ensure they are effective, and implement improvement measures if needed.
