Gordon Composites™ continuous glass and carbon fiber barstock, laminates and composite springs, including springs for high temperature industrial applications Injection-molded PlastiComp Complēt long carbon fiber reinforced ETPU materials will be displayed in an integrated archery crossbow riser and barrel.

New metal replacement solutions and thermoplastic elastomers for sealing applications help manufacturers effectively and economically increase fuel efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and improve manufacturing efficiencies. With our formulation expertise, we can help customers to optimize their manufacturing processes, increase consumer appeal, and meet increasingly strict regulations regarding carbon dioxide emissions and fuel efficiency,” said Kendall Justiniano, PolyOne director of global automotive marketing.

Renewable, plant-based raw materials, have been shown to offer significantly lower product carbon footprint values than typical petroleum-based feedstock. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

With an improved reheat performance, the solution also aids in reducing carbon footprint, and has no impact on the recyclability stream.  Reduced energy consumption – reduced carbon emissions

These bio-based nylon grades utilize up to 47 percent natural filler from renewable plant sources, including corn, straw and wheat, and reduce the carbon footprint value significantly at the beginning of the product lifecycle, improving overall lifecycle analysis. Reduce carbon footprint value

CASE STUDY: MAXXAM™ REC RECYCLED POLYOLEFIN FORMULATIONS COLLABORATING TO REDUCE PLASTIC OCEAN WASTE AVIENT FORMULATES RECYCLED OCEAN-BOUND PLASTICS, MAINTAINING MATERIAL PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINT THE CHALLENGE The family-owned electrical component supplier, Hager Group, produces electrical switches, sockets, devices, controls, housings, and more for installation in homes and commercial buildings. The new recycled polyolefins have enabled the replacement of fossil fuel-based feedstock with more carbon-friendly recycled ocean-bound plastics. Using Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint Calculator, which has been third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland to ISO 14067 standard, the new Avient formulations enable a 50% carbon footprint reduction compared to the materials previously used.
