Animal testing may be required when
there are no viable alternatives.
Avient is committed to replacing, reducing and refining the use of animal testing by applying the
following practices:
• Replace – Before any vertebrae testing, Avient will investigate the use of alternative methods and
approaches, including use of data that is already publically available, computational toxicology models
and read-across to available data for similar substances
Reduce – Avient will only consider animal testing if it is a legal requirement, or to ensure the safety of our
products, when no suitable alternatives are available.
