Find out how Avient’s solutions are helping to help meet Germany’s ambitious sustainability targets for a plastics circular economy Summary: The German Government has amended its 2019 Packaging Act towards a plastics circular economy. We are proud that our solutions are helping stakeholders across the plastics value chain, in Germany and globally on the journey towards a plastics circular economy. 

According to several expert projections, the world may produce over 400 million tons of plastic waste annually by 2030. The PCR grade is formulated with recycled ocean plastics from Oceanworks®, an accelerator program participant within the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a non-profit group that includes Avient as a founding member. About Oceanworks Oceanworks® is the global marketplace for recycled ocean plastics.

Plastic molding technology gives you the ability to add weight directly into customized and complex forms. A cut-out view shows the hard plastic substrate and the overmolded soft-touch TPE. Further, material durability can be optimized by selecting polymer formulations with a high resistance to environmental factors such as UV light, chemicals including salt water, acids and plasticizers, temperature extremes from boiling, autoclaving and automatic dishwashing, and unintended storage stresses like exposure to heat in a car trunk.

For use in high performance wire and cable applications, Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Solutions allow ultraviolet (UV) laser marking of FEP wire. ECCOH™ 5978 Formulations provide high crush resistance and good UV and chemical performance. Avient employs approximately 8,700 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

With the recognition, OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants are preferred for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin in black and dark colors, according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability. OnColor NIR Sortable Colorants from Avient provide a solution to this problem, allowing the packaging to be visible to a NIR optical sorter, enabling it to sort into the correct plastic stream. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
