These highly-talented PolyOne associates add value to our customers and improve sustainability through formulating polymer solutions, such as: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through thinner gauge designs and high-performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood that can improve fuel effi ciency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough fi ber colorant technology that minimizes the amount of wastewater generated during our customers’ production processes • R&D projects aimed to improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses NO SURPRISES PLEDGESM At PolyOne, we are committed to helping you grow your business with safe and environmentally sound solutions. Thermoplastic composites include these base resins, but are combined with a structural filler such as glass, wood, carbon or polymer fibers to enhance strength, rigidity and structure. Polymer formulations and structures have advantages over metals, wood, rubber, glass and other traditional materials, which have resulted in the replacement of these materials across a wide spectrum of applications that range from automobile parts to construction materials.

Polymer formulations and structures have advantages over metals, wood, rubber, glass and other traditional materials, which have resulted in the replacement of these materials across a wide spectrum of applications. Examples of how our materials science is enabling sustainability for our customers include developing unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and allow recycled content to be incorporated in products, thus advancing a more circular economy; light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint; and sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility.
