The majority of our waste is non-hazardous process scrap and purge materials. Waste minimization plans are impacted by several factors, including raw materials utilized, materials produced, manufacturing process, and location. We recognize the importance of responsibly managing plastic pellet loss within our operations.

How do I choose the right plastic for my application? How do I choose the right plastic for my application? Working with an experienced material supplier provides the combined benefit of in-depth material science knowledge and plastics processing insight to help you make an informed decision about which plastic is right for your application.

Ensure Sustainable Solutions: Plastic packaging is one of the 20th century’s most important inventions: it’s highly recyclable, consumes less water and energy than paper and other materials, and is a safe way to deliver products while preserving their quality. Yet it's also an irrefutable fact that plastic packaging is a major cause of global littering and pollution. We offer products that are specially designed to increase plastic recycling capabilities.

Hager wanted to utilize more recycled plastic in its products; however, the material needed to perform to the same technical specification as Hager’s current prime material. The collected material is processed into Social Plastic® feedstock for reuse in products and packaging by some of the world’s most advanced companies. The new grades were formulated to provide a functional replacement for the previous used prime materials while incorporating 50% recycled ocean- bound plastic content.

Avient will highlight these colorants at its booth today for the start of Chinaplas 2024, the world’s leading plastics and rubber fair in Asia.   Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable materials solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
