Trained, local ‘refractionists’, assist in this process, and it takes approximately 15 minutes to deliver prescription glasses for less than $5 per pair. Avient’s design team assisted with the design, process analysis and production of the injection-molded plastic USee™ device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.

Achieved new sustainability goals: Production scrap from the injection molding process can be fully recycled as part of an in-line process, which helped the company meet its sustainability goals.

A leading manufacturer of custom cable systems for the solar industry needed to reengineer its time-consuming production process to capitalize on rapidly growing market opportunities.  This would reduce costs, ease certification and – by eliminating secondary extrusion processes – effectively increase manufacturing capacity. 

These include the energy required for recycling, environmental impacts, carbon emissions, the value of the next life of the material, its longevity, and the economics of the entire process. Embracing advanced recycling techniques, optimizing manufacturing processes, and engaging stakeholders across the supply chain are crucial steps on this journey.

Reduced energy usage and scrap: Previous cushioning systems required a four-step manufacturing process. Switching to Avient's GLS™ TPEs enabled Brooks to move to a single injection molding process, yielding a 30-40 percent reduction in energy usage and a projected savings of $80,000 to $100,000 annually.
