Forward-Looking Statements
In this presentation, statements that are not reported financial results or other historical information are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
They use words such as “will,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of
future operating or financial performance and/or sales
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
The final amount of charges resulting from the planned North American asset realignment and the Company’s ability to realize anticipated
savings and operational benefits from the asset realignment;
Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Spartech Corporation, including any expected synergies;
Our ability to successfully integrate Spartech and achieve the expected results of the acquisition, including, without limitation, the acquisition
being accretive;
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability
and cost of credit in the future;
The financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with
inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability;
The speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market;
Our ability to achieve new business gains;
The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs, and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
Changes in polymer consumption growth rates in the markets where we conduct business;
Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online;
Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply;
Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;
An inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working
capital reductions, cost reductions, employee productivity goals, and an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
An inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees;
The inability to achieve expected results from our acquisition activities;
Our ability to continue to pay cash dividends;
The amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; and
Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates
and changes in the rate of inflation

They use words such as "will," “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,”
“believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial condition, performance and/or sales.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of
forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs.
The presentation of these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-04/Sustainable Material Answers_ Recycled PET 2022.pdf
At the recycling facility, PET and rPET
materials are separated from non-plastics and other plastics, then compressed and
gathered into bales for easy transportation to a processing center.
In fact, PET is approved as safe packaging for food and beverages
by the FDA, EMA, and other governments worldwide.
Special additives
like peroxides, antioxidants, chain extenders, elastomers, colorants and
performance modifiers can be added to rPET during processing to achieve
these properties and remedy cross-contamination, discoloring or any other
impurities.

Sometimes, tight radii are required to create
specific device aesthetics or to allow for other
components .
If the holes are not for structural design, they
can be placed closer together and should all be
placed two times the nominal wall thickness (W)
apart from each other and from an outside or
inside wall .

More efficient production and distribution
processes, reduced natural resource usage,
continued use of recycling, and inclusion of
recycled materials in our products such as
reSound
TM
R, ColorMatrix™ Capture™
Oxygen Scavenger, among others will
contribute to increasing product revenues
and reduced operating costs
Resource efficiency efforts supported by
capital allocation in NDC countries is more
likely and may accelerate a path toward
maximizing ROI and reducing operating
costs
Less regulatory and pressure to incentivize
may cause gains from efforts to lag
Energy Source
Opportunity
M L
Use of greater external financing options,
such as operating lease arrangements or
energy performance shared savings
contracts, to source lower emission-energy
and new technologies, such as carbon
capture, utilization & storage (CCUS), in our
operations may reduce operating costs and
maximize returns on investment
Use of lower emission-sources of energy in
operations will lower operating costs and
contribute toward reductions of our scope 1
and 2 emissions and product carbon
intensities
Use of renewable energy, increased
efficiency, and electrification initiatives will
lower operating costs and contribute toward
reductions of our scope 1 and 2 emissions
and product carbon intensities.
While we have a very small footprint in other rest of world countries, such as Singapore, Thailand,
Vientam, Malaysia, it is difficult to receive the resources needed to make substantial decarbonization action in these countries
Many other countries are following suit on the EU REACH chemicals regulation or a similar framework.
