PCR grades are formulated with different types of recycled content: ocean plastics; food packaging from a variety of sources (including content that received a No Objection Letter from the U.S. Explore how bio-polymers derived from sugarcane compare with petroleum-based TPEs. PCR grades are made from recycled ocean plastics, various food packaging sources, or recycled PVB from windshields and laminated building glass.

Reducing consumption from non-renewable energy sources is a key part of Avient’s path to carbon neutrality by 2050. We set an interim 2030 goal to attain 60% of our electricity from renewable sources. In 2023, we met this goal reaching 62% electricity being from renewable sources by leveraging virtual power purchase agreements among other sourcing initiatives.

Last year, we improved our ratings from two key and influential third-party agencies, earning a Gold medal from EcoVadis (94th percentile) and an A- from CDP. Our work in sustainability originates from a core tenant of utilizing innovation to help our customers meet their commitments and to add value for our stakeholders—and ultimately—our planet.

These new TPEs contain 25 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content from PVB reclaimed from broken automotive windshields and laminated architectural glass. Their performance properties also fit automotive applications that could benefit from vibration damping, such as door mats, door damping and glove boxes. These material developments create an opportunity to help divert mountains of valuable resources from the waste stream and upcycle them into new products.

Gaskets and stoppers can benefit from our Versaflex™ HC TPEs, which feature no coring and high resealability for dynamic and static seals and stoppers.

This process starts with tows of continuous fiber which are pulled from creels through a proprietary impregnation die where the fiber becomes melt impregnated with thermoplastic polymer.  Depending on the type of fiber being pultruded, tows have from 2,000 to 50,000 individual filaments of fiber with diameters ranging from 7 to 14 microns.  Pellet length can be varied from 6 mm (0.25 inch) to 48 mm (2.0 inches) depending on thermoplastic composite forming process requirements.
