Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility

Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility    

From lightweighting to renewable energy applications to improved recyclability, Avient has a robust portfolio of sustainable solutions.

BIO-BASED SOLUTIONS Bio-polymers are already used with success in different plastic products, notably in packaging, but to be used in healthcare applications, they need to be risk-assessed. Avient provides color and functional additive concentrates based on bio-polymers that follow the concept of consistency and compliance of our Mevopur portfolio. They are manufactured at ISO 13485 certified sites with bio-compatible raw materials and documented change control.
