Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. Fiber Volume Fiber volume is the ratio of fiber to resin in a composite structure.

In solvolysis, the chain length of matrix polymers is reduced toward monomers while removing the matrix from the fibers so that both the fibers and matrix chemical products can be recovered. This not only reduces waste but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions and offers opportunities for carbon capture. Conducting a comprehensive carbon footprint analysis is essential to making informed choices

reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs Reduce Carbon Emissions Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Explained

Home // Reduce Carbon Footprint by Replacing Traditional Materials Each year humans put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than natural processes can remove, amplifying Earth’s natural greenhouse effect. The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials—PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.

Avient’s recent launch of its TÜV Rheinland-Certified Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator is just one example of its commitment to sustainability. This cutting-edge tool can help customers evaluate the carbon footprint of Avient’s specialized and sustainable material solutions, understand the environmental impact of end products, and navigate the complex landscape of reducing carbon emissions.   Engineered Fibers and Yarns:

Homepage // News Center // New Edgetek™ and LubriOne™ PKE Materials from Avient Replace Nylon and Acetal, Reduce Carbon Footprint The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials - PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM. The Edgetek PKE series includes short glass-reinforced formulations with 10-40 percent short glass fiber.

The textile industry’s supply chain is complex, making it difficult for fiber producers and brand owners to trace the textile products back to them,” says Mauro Dallavalle, senior marketing manager, Global Fibers at Avient. Cesa fiber tracer concentrates comply with the fiber industry’s key regulatory requirements by EN, DIN, and UNI. 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
