Plastics In many ways, plastics are a perfect example of why a circular economy is so important. If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean. By 2040, a circular economy has the potential to reduce the annual volume of plastics entering our oceans by 80%, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25%, generate savings of $200 U.S. dollars per year and create 700,000 net additional jobs..

Switch to bio-based polymer solutions to color and enhance the performance of plastics in healthcare products Some polymer grades on the plastic market are already manufactured using renewable sources such as corn, sugar cane, and vegetable oil. However, until recently, these bio-based polymers were used in packaging and consumer plastic products, and most were not assessed for compliance with healthcare regulations.

How to minimize the risk of supply chain disruption for healthcare plastic colorants and functional additives Avient’s Mevopur™ portfolio and risk mitigation concept can help healthcare manufacturers on the journey to increased security of supply for plastics used in their products. The concentrates need to be diluted with virgin polymer during the conversion process to achieve the right amount of color or additive in the plastic.
