Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator: a tool that is third-party-certified by TÜV Rheinland, developed to evaluate the carbon footprint of Avient’s specialized and sustainable material solutions to help companies address the growing demand to create and meet sustainability commitments, understand the environmental impact of products, and navigate the complex landscape of reducing carbon emissions, particularly for upstream materials, and aligns with the ISO 14067:2018 standard for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product   Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports   Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility  

With appropriate material selection and part design optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of components up to 50% compared to aluminum. Complēt™ LCF Long carbon fiber reinforced materials have higher rigidity/modulus, higher strength, lighter weight, and more marketability potential than glass fiber, making it the ideal fiber reinforcement for metal replacement. Complēt™ PKE Long glass fiber reinforced polyketone solutions that deliver excellent chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, and a reduced carbon footprint.

Avient will also host a series of technical seminars at its customer center for NPE attendees to explore sustainability strategies and the pressing issues of carbon footprint reduction. Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility
