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®.

PolyOne Highlights New Geon™ Cellular Vinyl at Plastics Extrusion World Expo CLEVELAND – May 6, 2019 – This week at the Plastics Extrusion World Expo, PolyOne is showcasing several advancements in vinyl technology, includin MANNHEIM, Germany – April 3, 2019 – This week at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering (PIAE) congress, PolyOne is presenting its deep portfolio

The awards competition identified winners of innovative plastics materials in eight categories. The winning parts are on display this week at POLYTALK 2014, a plastics industry summit organized by trade association Plastics Europe in Brussels. PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

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.

Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes. Don’t wait too long to select materials: Engage with a polymer supplier early on in the design process to specify the exact material attributes you need. Take advantage of hybrid plastic/metal designs

In addition to advancing material science solutions to enable customers’ sustainability goals, Avient joined the Alliance to End Plastics Waste as a founding member in 2019 in support of its commitment to invest $1.5B over five years in projects that end plastic waste in the environment. About Oceanworks Oceanworks® is the global marketplace for recycled ocean plastics. 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

The plastic packaging recycling target in Germany will rise to 63% from 2022 and the new law also introduces incentives for packaging producers to incorporate recyclability considerations into their packaging design, and to use recycled or renewable materials. This is where Avient’s sustainable material science solutions come into the picture. We are proud that our solutions are helping stakeholders across the plastics value chain, in Germany and globally on the journey towards a plastics circular economy.
