RECYCLED PLASTICS DEMAND GROWING DOUBLE DIGITS
Avient Corporation 28
Sources: McKinsey, Standard & Poor’s 2022
• Recycled plastics demand is expected to
grow at a 12% CAGR through 2030
• Demand is constrained by availability of
recycled content and will need investments
in both mechanical and chemical processes
• As recycled content becomes more
available, it is expected to make up 30% of
all plastics demand by 2040

KEY CUSTOMER CHALLENGES:
• Improving Fuel Economy - Incorporating innovative lighter-weight alternative
materials as a cost-effective way to reduce fuel consumption
• Reducing Energy Consumption and Dependence on Fossil Fuels -
Negative public perceptions of fossil fuels are challenging companies to utilize
alternative energy sources and also to reduce overall demand (consumption)
• Reducing Carbon Footprint - Companies are seeking assistance from their
suppliers to address the ever-increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint
• Lessening Environmental Impact - Manufacturers are looking to reduce
dependence on processes with high environmental impact such as the release of
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) during painting

Halogenated flame retardants intervene in the
combustion reactions during the gas phase
and form less reactive by-products, delaying or
interrupting combustion.
Intumescent flame retardants form a protective
layer upon combustion, eliminating the polymer
fuel source.

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.
Polymers are formed differently and have inherent properties that are optimized by using best practices for their design.
Investigate processes that enable plastics and metal to be formed together, including insert molding and heat staking.

We offer a wide variety of color and additive concentrates that are essential to improving the performance of crop-protection films, including both woven and nonwoven materials that protect plants from insects and sudden changes in temperature.
By limiting transmission of infrared rays, IR absorbers can reduce daytime temperatures in the greenhouse, while light-diffusing agents scatter the sun’s rays for more uniform plant growth.
