As the world continues to shift from operating in a linear economy to a circular economy, Avient is proud to be a part of the solution. A company’s carbon footprint includes all emissions from the supply chain, logistics, usage and disposal of all products. We collaborate across the value chain from suppliers to converters and brand owners to identify opportunities to help meet their sustainability goals.

Our customers are looking for sustainable thermoplastic composite materials that are tougher, stronger, and lighter to accelerate their products from concept to production,” said Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for PolyOne. Formulations are available with glass, carbon or specialty fiber reinforcements, including glass/carbon hybrids, in engineering polymers ranging from polypropylene to PEEK. PolyOne is showcasing long fiber thermoplastic technologies at its CMF Inspiration Wall (across from Hall 10.3 Entrance, Zone B) at CHINAPLAS 2019 from May 21-24.

Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills. For instance, Avient engineers successfully used 100% PCR PET in composite unidirectional tapes and laminates, and PCR nylon 6 from reclaimed fishing nets in a LFT composite. From manufacturers and engineers to end-users, everyone has a role to play in achieving sustainability goals, and everyone must benefit to be truly sustainable. 

PolyOne Percept technologies include formulation and consultative services to assist manufacturers and brand owners in minimizing the potential risks and loss of revenue arising from counterfeits in applications such as consumer goods, medical devices, packaging, and consumer electronics. This solution set draws from covert and overt authentication techniques, enabling manufacturers to capably protect their products from counterfeiting or unauthorized distribution. PolyOne provides confidential, expert assistance with technology choice, design, and usage as well as process, product and specification development to assist brand owners in shortening product development times and maintaining quality levels for products that can benefit from positive identification.
