Plastic waste is an issue impacting our world, and we were very proud to have joined the Alliance to End Plastic Waste
(AEPW) in 2019 as a founding member.
AEPW’s mission is to develop, deploy and
bring to scale solutions that help end plastic waste and promote solutions for used plastics, including reuse, recovery
and recycling plastic to keep it out of the environment.
Additionally, PolyOne is a member of the American Chemistry Council and Plastic Industry Association’s Operation
Clean Sweep®, a set of guidelines for process, training and audit of our operations to prevent plastic pellet loss into
the environment.
