In the transportation industry, plastic has proven to be durable, lightweight and corrosion
resistant while offering fuel savings, design flexibility and high performance, often replacing traditional materials such
as metal and glass.
Polymer formulations and structures have advantages over metals, wood, rubber,
glass and other traditional materials, which have resulted in the replacement of these materials across a wide spectrum
of applications that range from automobile parts to construction materials.
Raw Materials
The primary raw materials used by our manufacturing operations are polyolefin and other thermoplastic resins, polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) resin, plasticizers, inorganic and organic pigments, all of which we believe are in adequate supply.

We have defined our Sustainability Portfolio in the eight ways we
help our customers meet their innovation and sustainability goals:
The benefits of these solutions include:
• Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be
incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy
• 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
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural
resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility
As the world begins to shift from operating in a linear economy to a circular economy, Avient is proud to
be a part of the solution.
Wulfsohn was President and Chief Executive Officer of Carpenter
Technology Corporation (“Carpenter”), a manufacturer of stainless steel,
titanium and other specialty metals and engineered products, and was a director
of Carpenter from 2009 until 2014.
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; and
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials
and packaging across a spectrum of end uses.

Starting with raw materials, we source the best polymers, additives,
modifiers, fillers, reinforcers, colorants and pigments.
