Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Potential for recyclability

In the circular scenario, which repeats again and again, resources are used to create products, those products are reclaimed and/or recycled via collection infrastructures, and the resulting recyclate is then formed into more products. If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean. For instance, recycling technology and infrastructure must be further advanced in order to sustain a circular economy.

SHANGHAI, China – November 1, 2022 – Avient today announced the addition of new high-impact polypropylene (PP) based grades to its Gravi-Tech™ density modified portfolio. Avient’s portfolio of Gravi-Tech materials combine the aesthetics of metals with the superior processability of polypropylene (PP), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and other thermoplastic materials. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

By 2030, Avient will enable 100% of our products manufactured for packaging applications to be recyclable or reusable to advance the circular economy, for which approximately 90% of Avient’s products met this criteria in 2020. In support of advancing the circular economy, our design expertise and material science, helps our customers reduce material usage, enable recyclability, increase recycle content, and improve physical performance We enable reduced carbon footprint technologies, improved recyclability, increased recycle content, and bio-derived solutions
