Regular monitoring of our emissions to air from all of our sites is a part of environmental management at Avient.
All Avient manufacturing facilities comply with applicable regulatory requirements regarding emissions limits and hold valid air permits where required.
While conventional air emissions are a critical and a highlyinfluential topic in some industrial sectors, as a specialty formulator of purchased materials, Avient’s conventional air emission levels from legacy operations are de minimis and not material.
