Over the past three years, Avient has made significant strides in developing materials to enable sustainability, introducing over 40 new product lines to incorporate more recycled content, bio-derived materials, lightweighting solutions, and energy-saving technologies.

The GRS-certified color and additive solutions from Avient contain a required percentage of pre-consumer or post-consumer recycled polyester primarily from recycled PET, Nylon, PP, PE, and other resin bases that aim to save on energy and water use during the spin-dyeing (dope-dyeing) process.
