Incorporating a bio-based resin with a natural filler further enhances sustainability and reduces product carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives.   Aside from sustainability benefits, utilizing bio-based fillers improves lightweighting compared to polymers traditionally filled with talcum, calcium carbonate, or glass fiber. 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

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculator evaluates the carbon footprint of our solutions to help provide an understanding of the environmental impact of end products.

The filler is sourced from plant waste that would otherwise be landfilled, which in turn would create methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.  The new bio-filled polymer from Avient has enabled us to reduce the carbon footprint of a range of our products by reducing the consumption of petroleum-based polymers.

Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced aluminum to provide better fatigue resistance and reduce weight Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced metal steering column supports and lowered weight by 50% Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced PES composite reduced weight 40% and met FAA requirements for flammability and survivability

Gordon Composites™ continuous glass and carbon fiber bar stock, laminates, and composite springs, including springs for high-temperature industrial applications Fiber-Line™ engineered high-performance fibers, including coated, twisted, and custom-wound aramid, glass, carbon, HMPE, and LCP fibers For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.  

Versaflex FFC can be overmolded onto COPE, PC, or PC/ABS, making it suitable for a wide range of food contact applications such as food containers, kitchenware, kitchen appliances, tableware, etc. 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

Non-renewable energy sources, like coal and oil, are limited in supply and often contribute to increased carbon emissions. It helped them reduce their carbon footprint by reducing evaporation.
