Performance Reheating rPET, so that it can be molded into a bottle preform shape, also decreases the plastic’s intrinsic viscosity (IV) due to a decrease in polymer chain length. Colored PET—As manufacturers look to transfer packaging away from less recycled polymers to PET, there is an expectation that color will remain an important brand differentiator on the shelves. One common challenge with using rPET bottles is the breakdown of the polymer chains that occurs as the material is heated and remelted during processing.

We enable reduced carbon footprint technologies, improved recyclability, increased recycle content, and bio-derived solutions. · We partner with EcoVadis to evalute our prioritized suppliers on environmental, social, and governance requirements aligned with the UN Global Compact principles. · By 2030, to ensure alignment with Avient’s expectations on environmental, social and governance requirements, Avient will assess its top suppliers representing 90% of our total raw material costs. · Avient's sustainable solutions seek to solve our customer's complex sustainability challenges by reducing demand for raw materials and enabling the use of more recycled content, formulating with bio-polymers, and lightweighting materials. · Centralization of efforts will be beneficial in order to achieve ambitious net-zero aligned strategic milestones. · Talent development and retention in expertise areas of emerging technologies that can be deployed within our operations and support clean electrification and evaluation of resilient, diverse, and alternative energy generation models is ongoing. · We are a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW). Our investments are focusing on infrastructure, innovation, education and clean-up initiatives. · We have organized our portfolio to enable our customers to solve complex sustainability changes, from enabling the use of more recycled content, formulating with bio- polymers, sustainable infrastructure, human health & safety, lightweighting, reducing volatile organic compounds, reducing energy usage and offering eco-conscious solutions. · Physical climate-related risk assessments over our critical manufacturing sites, suppliers, and logistics route will be helpful in making corporate real estate and procurement choices.

In automated systems, pipette tips are often made of conductive polymer materials, enabling the tip to sense the liquid and accurately measure the correct amount of liquid being transferred. Conductive pipette tips must meet demanding performance criteria and therefore require a polymer solution with a unique, and often difficult to achieve, blend of properties.
