Carbon fiber production took off during the 1960’s but the high price of the material limited its initial usage. Today, there are several types and manufacturers of carbon fiber tows, which has broadened the materials usage to a vast number of applications and markets.

Avient’s EH&S MS is comprised of global standards for safety, health, security, product safety, and environmental protection, covering the transportation of materials, activities at our sites and warehouses, distribution of our products, our customers’ use of our products, and our ongoing commitment to be a positive influence in the communities in which we operate.

Tote containers (‘totes’) are commonly used as a cost-effective way to transport or store bulk products and materials.

We know designing sustainable solutions often comes with challenges and questions. The materials, parts, polymers, chemicals and other components of the things we use are all designed to re-enter the ecosystem that helped produce them. It is based on three principles: • Design out waste and pollution • Keep products and materials in use • Regenerate natural systems By following these principles, a circular economy can drastically reduce waste, pollution, and resource depletion.
