• Meet Aggressive Sustainability Goals - While brand owners have made
strong, public sustainability commitments – many are currently trailing far
behind goals
• Develop Strategies to Minimize Plastic Waste - Plastic waste remains
a global priority with consumers and legislatures – forcing brand owners to
implement tangible mitigation strategies
• Increase Post Consumer Recycle (PCR) Utilization & Post
Consumer Recycle Availability - Increasing the use of PCR is far more
challenging than many companies had anticipated
• Meet Legislation Requirements - Legislatures are drafting financial
penalties for companies unable or unwilling to meet post-consumer recycled
content targets

recycled content and
minimize plastic waste

PRESERVE
Avient Corporation 62
• Preserving Key Natural Resources - Companies are being challenged to
mitigate high environmental impact processes such as water-intensive textile dyeing or
food spoilage
• Incorporating Renewable Materials - Adoption of bio-based raw materials
requires design and formulation expertise to overcome performance shortcomings of
neat resins
• Increasing Healthcare Regulations - Utilizing sustainable materials in
healthcare applications requires considerable support in navigating complex regulatory
requirements
• Increasing Regulatory Compliance - Non-Intentionally Added Substances
(NIAS) need to be controlled in sensitive applications
• Enabling Faster and More Reliable Connectivity – Substantial investments
in 5G infrastructure are required to unlock the potential of the Internet of Things
