By 2030, to ensure alignment with Avient’s expectations on environmental, social and governance requirements, Avient will assess its top suppliers representing 90% of our total raw material costs.

As a member of the American Chemistry Council, we have adopted Responsible Care® Guiding Principles and the Product Safety Code of Management Practices to guide our efforts in material sourcing, development and management of our product portfolio throughout the value chain and life cycle. Sustainable and ethical management of our products protects our employees, customers and communities in which we operate, while maintaining customer confidence in Avient’s materials.

Eco-conscious packaging compositions are preferred by customers, pushing convertors and brand owners to use sustainable materials—perhaps partially based on renewable or bio-derived sources—that also ensure food contact compliance.

Carbon fiber production took off during the 1960’s but the high price of the material limited its initial usage. Today, there are several types and manufacturers of carbon fiber tows, which has broadened the materials usage to a vast number of applications and markets.

Most packaging doesn’t take advantage of the sense of touch to make that connection, so adding color and texture with soft touch materials can help your package stand out from the competition on store shelves.
