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 Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®. 

Plastics are a crucial tool in saving lives and improving health and safety in our communities. Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers are formulated to meet demanding healthcare device and application challenges without phthalate plasticizers. WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology provides antimicrobial and antifungal additives that reduce bacterial, mold and fungal growth in finished plastic parts used in hospital surfaces.

When used in place of traditional carbon black, OnColor RC Environmental Black maintains expected performance levels in plastics. 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 PolyOne employs approximately 6,900 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

CLEVELAND – Consumer, healthcare, transportation and building products manufacturers now have a high-performance material that offers excellent performance and sustainability in one, cost-effective, vinyl-based material package. Customers benefit as this plant-based, truly non-phthalate flexible vinyl performs at levels equal to or better than materials containing traditional petroleum-based plasticizers.” Geon BIO materials are formulated with PolyOne’s plant-based reFlex™ 300 plasticizer, which has been tested and certified by the United States Department of Agriculture’s BioPreferred® Program to be 99 percent bio-based.

Until now, masterbatch has generally been made using virgin material as a carrier resin. This means that at typical let-down ratios, the finished product would contain 3 to 5 percent non-recycled plastic.     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
