Reducing consumption from non-renewable energy sources is a key part of Avient’s path to carbon neutrality by 2050. We have set a goal to reduce Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% and achieve operational carbon neutrality by 2050. We know the path to achieving carbon neutrality will not be easy.

Avient Announces Industry-First Carbon Negative and Carbon Neutral Thermoplastic Elastomers   reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs: These TPE formulations offer an industry-first cradle-to-gate negative, neutral, or near-zero product carbon footprint (PCF) while delivering comparable performance to traditional TPEs.  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 

Fiber reinforcements include long glass fiber, long carbon fiber and long hybrid (glass + carbon) fiber.   Synergistically combines long carbon and long glass fiber together in a unified material to optimize performance and cost Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced metal steering column supports and lowered weight by 50%

In automotive applications, there is a demand for alternative materials to improve interior air quality and reduce carbon footprint. Case Study: Automotive OEM Lowers Carbon Footprint With Avient  The Solution & Impact By utilizing a combination of Avient’s OnColor™ Colorants, Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents, and Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives, we enabled the OEM to reduce weight and carbon emissions in panel doors, increase UV resistance in instrument panels and replace traditional paint processes in central consoles.
