Nearly all municipalities in North America and Europe accept PET as part of their recycling programs. Infrastructure Recycling PET depends on participation from consumers, but it also requires that their local governments have the infrastructure for collection programs and the proper sorting equipment. Because rPET supply depends on local collection programs and consumers’ participation in these programs, supply remains limited and the increased demand will drive prices up.

Avient holds all managers accountable for this behavior and leadership. This Code has been developed within the framework of Avient’s values. I also acknowledge that I have completed the ethics training program based on this Code of Conduct.
