Explore the use of sustainable materials, such as coconut fibers or recycled plastics, to reduce your brand’s environmental footprint. Think about choosing materials that are either bio-derived or recyclable, or incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. VISUALIZING THE POSSIBILITIES You need to be able to explore and envision your options.

Thermoplastics offer versatility and a wide range of applications. Plastics have a reputation for durability, aesthetics, ease of handling and recyclability. These products are sold to over 5,700 custom injection molders and extruders who, in turn, convert them into plastic parts that are sold to end-users in a wide range of industries.

With resources like Cycleworks™ Innovation Center for Plastic Recycling and Color Prediction Service, Avient continues to strengthen our expertise to enable our customers to meet their sustainability commitments. Plastics Pact Product Innovation Protects Quality Recycle Cesa™ A4R Nox A4R Additives for Enhanced Recycling Innovation Award, Finalist: Plastics Industry Association Product Technology Innovation, Finalist: Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2023 2023 Sustainability Innovation Awards Avient’s sustainable solutions portfolio is not only enabling our customer’s commitments, it is also receiving recognition for product and technology innovation.
