To address this, advancements in recycling technologies and the use of performance additives are crucial. The journey towards a more circular economy for PET involves addressing several challenges, from process optimization and enhancing the consumer experience to generating quality rPET feedstock and creating value for rPET and PET producers. Avient offers solutions that address many of these challenges, helping to enhance the circularity of PET and promote a more sustainable packaging industry.

This solution addresses challenges associated with increased recycled PET (rPET) content, focusing on improving recyclability and enhancing bottle quality. This technology addresses challenges associated with recycling incompatible polymers like polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) by forming a homogenous polymer mixture, increasing mechanical properties, and bridging the gap between virgin and recycled polymers. Sustainability experts from Avient will be on site to discuss the latest innovative solutions and help address recycling challenges.

This makes reducing water use, wastewater, and energy/CO₂ the most urgent priorities to address in the textile value chain. One way clothing and footwear producers are working to address these priorities is by using more recycled raw materials, such as recycled polyester from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, within their synthetic fibers.

To help address these needs in North America and globally, Avient offers a broad portfolio of specialty formulations including UL 94 recognized colorants, flame retardants, antimicrobial technology, special visual effects, and more.   Avient materials can address key EVSE performance, function, and design areas including outdoor durability, impact resistance, thermal management, and fire safety.

The newer IVDR included changes meant to strengthen the effectiveness of the legislation and better address IVD safety. With a broad portfolio of healthcare polymer technologies under the Mevopur™ brand, Avient can assist in addressing many of these challenges.

The need for more sustainable solutions to existing materials is driven by a range of factors, from increased performance requirements to meeting consumer preferences to addressing a tightening regulatory environment. Avient has developed technologies to address these needs, including composites that are lightweight to decrease carbon emissions, functional additives that lightweight or improve the recycle content of plastic packaging, and biobased solutions that lower product carbon footprint.
