Millions of improperly discarded plastic bottles are finding their way into our waterways and oceans, rather than into proper recycle streams. PolyOne has developed additives that reduce the amount of plastic needed to make the bottle, as well as SMARTHEAT™ INFRARED ABSORBERS—additives that reduce the amount of energy required during bottle manufacture. Bottles for carbonated drinks require more strength when compared to bottles for still beverages.

Many original equipment manufacturers and plastic injection molding companies in the packaging industry are prioritizing the replacement of ABS. The new grades are also suitable for electroplating, which delivers the look and feel of metal, making them a suitable choice for bottled alcohol and cosmetic caps and closures.   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers: high-performance medical-grade formulations for demanding applications, including medical tubing, gaskets and stoppers, and bags, bottles and films.       Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic PolyOne employs approximately 5,700 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

More Color and effect trends for inspired plastic designs Create impactful aesthetics for your future plastic products using our ColorForward™ annual color and effect trend forecasting guide. More Benefits of Metal Replacement Why consider plastics in lieu of metal?

These modifiers also facilitate the use of PET and PETG in food packaging applications, reducing product breakage in items such as PET/PETG trays, PET strapping belts, PETG shrink films, and PET bottles. Enhance your plastic products with advanced surface modifier additives that reduce costs, improve efficiency, and boost quality.

SmartHeat RHC is APR accredited for both Critical Guidance and Bottle-to-Bottle, and is EPBP approved. SmartHeat RHC allows for optimization of polymer weight distribution within the PET bottle.
