Such advice, for example how to set up blow molding machines, is not equipment specific and therefore ColorMatrix would always recommend using local or expert technicians in addition to following best practice points listed below; • Preforms should be conditioned for minimum 24 hours prior to blowing • Preforms should always be used in a FIFO manner (First In, First Out) • Octabins of preforms should be segregated and blown per resin type, i.e. not mixed with other resins • A preform traceability system should be in place such that any process upsets can be quickly followed up and corrected • Enhanced QC preform checking resources for bottle distribution, aesthetics and integrity should be on-hand during the performance optimization trials • Prior to any process optimization, the blowing machine performance should be verified as being within normal i.e. accepted standard ranges and all important components and control features are working satisfactorily.

We saw an untapped market opportunity for improved seat fastening solutions and recognized that continuing to use bent steel plate would hold us back,” said Hagen Spiess, Senior Design Engineer at HellermannTyton.

As a direct result of this policy we have implemented in 2021 207 Energy Savings projects that cumulatively reduce yearly emissions consumption by nearly 5,500 MT CO2e, and each year more an increasing number of projects are screened.
If we were to be regulated by a system, we would assess the impact of our current regional carbon reduction strategies and engage our supply chain to adapt to meet requirements.

Solutions 1 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) (Dollars in millions, except per share data) Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.
