In addition, chain extender additives can improve IV for better strength and performance. One common challenge with using rPET bottles is the breakdown of the polymer chains that occurs as the material is heated and remelted during processing. Chain extenders can be used in order to raise the IV and ensure the rPET strength and performance is suitable for the new application.

Our position in enabling the use of recycled materials, bio-renewable solutions, renewable energy, or energy reductions requires manufacturing in a manner and light weighting of transportation vehicles so that they contribute to more efficient value chains and accelerated lower-carbon transitions for our customers We have appointed a designated supply chain sustainability professional to lead proactive and targeted sustainability focused engagement efforts with suppliers to understand and mitigate market and value chain risk exposure. We collaborate across the value chain from suppliers to converters and brand owners to enable our customers to meet their sustainability goals.

PolyOne’s Global Trade and EHS&S departments share responsibility for supply chain security. PolyOne recognizes that given our location in the supply chain we are very well positioned to enable sustainability along the value chain, through innovation at the earliest stages of the product life cycle. Potential effects along supply chains are also considered.
