We’re excited to add the new Versaflex grade to our expanding set of solutions that enable customers to continue pursuing product innovation and meet market demands,” said Jim Mattey, global marketing director, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne. The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as:

OEMs want to incorporate environmentally responsible materials in their designs, especially those who manufacture consumer products, yet they also need to meet functional requirements,” said Jim Mattey, global marketing director, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne. The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as:

Using the new bio-based Mevopur polymer solutions instead of conventional materials,” says Volker Dickfeld, senior marketing manager, healthcare global, “can help manufacturers of pharmaceutical packaging, medical devices and related products reduce their carbon footprint. Along with pre-colored formulations for users who prefer ready-to-use solutions, they are more sustainable drop-in replacements for fossil-based materials. Documented change control beyond CAS number is practiced and Registered Drug Master File (DMF) / Device Master File (MAF) documentation is maintained.

This includes equipment security, fire prevention, and overall user safety. Antimicrobial and antifungal additives can protect the user interfaces and touchpoints from mold, mildew, and bacteria, while antistatic and conductive formulations can prevent static discharge and create safer, statically dissipated plastic parts.

Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) draft guidance, “Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design,” recommends the use of appropriate human factors analysis, testing and validation during the design phase of medical devices to reduce user-related hazards and errors. For example, the Lobie™ earbud accessory from Acousticlobe features soft, lightweight TPE material, and is designed to position earbuds next to the ear so users avoid the discomfort of inserting them into the ear canal.

From manufacturers and engineers to end-users, everyone has a role to play in achieving sustainability goals, and everyone must benefit to be truly sustainable.  Engaging consumers and end-users in this sustainable journey is also vital for success.
