UK Plastic Pact In January of 2019, Avient joined The UK Plastics Pact, a collaborative initiative committed to tackling plastic pollution.

Plastics are among the most useful and impactful materials on earth. Plastics help us move faster, work smarter, feel better and have more fun. While the value of plastics is undeniable, we fully recognize that plastics and other materials are ending up in places they should not—like our waterways and oceans.

Colorant and functional additive solutions formulated with bio-based polymers to reduce the carbon footprint of medical plastics. Mevopur™ formulations for PCR well plates prevent 'cross-talk' and minimize phosphorescence with optimally dispersed TiO2, while balancing melt flow and physical properties, and ensuring quality through ISO 13485:2016 certification.

It requires less maintenance and monitoring while also providing improved flow characteristics over rigid steel pipe.  

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; • Changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Demand for our products and services; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; • Our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system, S/4HANA; • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts and any recessionary conditions; and • Other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” The non-GAAP financial measures include: Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and adjusted EBITDA margins.
