The resins have bio-based content up to 95 percent, as calculated to ASTM D6866 standard. Benefits include light weighting, material savings (and therefore reduced consumption of non-renewable resources), faster cycling, and process-energy savings.  Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility

Nymax™ BIO Bio-based Polyamide Solutions As brand owners look for new ways to lower their carbon footprint and bring more sustainable products to the market, Nymax™ BIO polyamide formulations can help. These bio-derived and glass fiber-reinforced formulations utilize 16–47% natural filler from renewable plant sources, including corn, straw, and wheat. Renewable, plant-based raw materials, have been shown to offer significantly lower product carbon footprint values than typical petroleum-based feedstock.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN reSound™ BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers Customizable Bio-based TPEs reSound™ BIO TPEs are formulated utilizing between 35 and 60 percent bio-renewable content. Avient can also develop custom bio-based formulations that expand on the initial reSound BIO portfolio. Customization options may include bio- renewable content percentages, hardness, and color.
