Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)

TECHNICAL BULLETIN
1 How to keep a sustainable PET recycling industry in Europe - EPBP - European PET Bottle Platform
2 How circular is PET?
Avient undertook a recyclability study to show
how bottles containing 0.09% Fortis Amber-1 and
4% Amosorb SolO2-2 achieve optimal results when
going through two full loops of recycling.
A second test was also carried out, which aimed
to demonstrate how recycled material can be
combined with vPET to produce bottles that are very
similar to bottles produced with 100% virgin resin.

Here are 4 key trends, and how you can use them to create
products that will resonate with present-day pet owners.
Pet tech companies are creating ‘wellbeing
ecosystems’ which allow pet owners oversight of everything
from their pet’s activity levels and the quality of their sleep,
to when they get fed, how much they eat, and when they
enter and leave the house.
