One way to achieve
this is to switch to bio-polymers where possible.
Bio-polymers are already used with success in
different plastic products, notably in packaging,
but to be used in healthcare applications, they
need to be evaluated to the relevant protocols to
support regulatory compliance of the end article.
Avient provides pre-tested color and additive
concentrates based on bio-polymers to minimize
the risk of non-compliance and support a more
sustainable profile for plastic products used in the
healthcare industry.

And now these products can be made more sustainable by switching to polymers based on renewable materials instead of fossil fuel-based polymers.
The bio-based content of the polymer can be between 70% and 100% depending on the polymer grade.
As concentrates, the color and additive polymer solutions are incorporated into the virgin polymer at a specific ratio (a.k.a. let-down ratio).
