A growing number of customers and commercial partners seek organizations that prioritize protecting the environment, ensuring the well-being of employees, and safeguarding the communities in which they operate,” said Chad Martinez, senior manager, Environmental, Health & Safety Management Systems at Avient. 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  

Including tracers within textiles can make it possible to confirm the origin of yarns from a specified fiber manufacturer’s production stream, which in turn would support the label's claims of including recycled content.  For yarns produced with recycled polymer content, the tracers can also be added to the shredded PET/PA material before it’s extruded into polymer pellets, which can offer more flexibility for yarn producers.

However, this can impact colorability, which is a critical consideration when the look of the product needs to meet expectations amid the growing demand for sustainable products. Striking the right balance starts with understanding the impact incorporating sustainable content into TPEs can have on aesthetics and then deciding which strategy is right for you.

This solution provides significant advantages when compared with existing striped radiopaque catheters, which offer less X-ray visibility and may require multiple manufacturing steps and materials to produce. Manufacturers of catheters can benefit through increased production efficiency by eliminating a need for co-extrusion, which is typically required to manufacture striped catheters, as well as reducing material usage and complexity.

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.  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

We are pleased to bring this new UV laser marking technology to market which will allow our customers to meet their stringent performance requirements.” 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

New ECCOH™ LSFOH 6153 UV and 6154 UV extend PolyOne’s low smoke, fume, zero halogen portfolio, which is focused on applications where smoke mitigation is of particular concern, including communication and data cables.

As part of our engagement, Avient is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW), which is a consortium of nearly 30 companies that have pledged $1.5B to help clean up plastic waste.

In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency. At Schneider Electric, quality, efficiency and environmental sustainability go hand-in-hand, so we were very pleased to work with PolyOne and leverage these non-halogenated formulations,” said Loic Perret, Global Commodity Director at Schneider Electric, which was ranked tenth by Corporate Knights, a Canadian media and investment research company, in its Global 100, a list of the most sustainable corporations in the world.

Vibration in top load washing machines can cause the units to ‘walk,’ which prompts a large volume of costly service calls to the manufacturer. When using Versaflex VDT, kinetic energy generated by the washing machine movement activates molecules in the material, which then converts the kinetic energy into heat energy, reducing vibration and ‘walking.’
