Three Automotive Parts Primed for Metal-to-Plastic Conversion However, long-fiber thermoplastic (LFT) technology addresses these concerns, bridging the gap between short-fiber reinforced formulations and over-engineered materials. Electrically conductive and static dissipative materials can provide the necessary protection without the weight and design constraints of traditional metal components.

It is well known that detecting and sorting dark packaging in material recovery facilities is challenging. APR’s MPG program helps brand owners be more confident that the materials they incorporate into their products support recyclability. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

We have established CycleWorks to study and meet the challenges of plastic recycling while furthering its viability. To facilitate industry partnerships, CycleWorks includes a collaboration platform to ensure input from across the plastics value chain. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Manufacturer improves durability, cost-effectiveness for plastic spinning tubes, bobbins Downtime, scheduled or not, is unwelcome – and it’s often due to a plastic part that costs less than a dollar. In an effort to strengthen the bushings, the company’s engineering team tested materials from several suppliers, but the LubriOne™ wear-resistant compounds from Avient were the most intriguing.
