OnColor™ IR Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging Nymax™ PIR Post-Industrial Recycled Nylon Formulations Bio-derived Content Based in whole or in part on bio-derived resources, or enable bio-based materials to perform at a level comparable to conventional polymers. This additive is particularly suitable in packaging for ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, as these types of products have a longer shelf life, making them more susceptible to light-induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions. ASASE—Closing the Loop Ghana’s rapid economic growth has made it one of the leading countries in Africa.

That headline performance, however, doesn’t tell the whole story. 2022 was, in so many respects, a pivotal and progressive year for Avient and our vision to be a world-class sustainable organization. The ultra-light specialty fiber is stronger than steel and is used in demanding applications such as ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, industrial protection and outdoor sports.
