Most Recycled Plastic
One major reason?
It’s the most recycled plastic on the planet.
For example, this
directive has set a target for plastic bottles.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-08/2030-goals-2020-sustainability-report.pdf
It is estimated that 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end users.
As a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste,
Avient will collaborate to develop and implement solutions to
end plastic waste with approximately 50 members across the
value chain.
Update:
• The Alliance to End Plastic Waste is currently executing 27 projects globally
that are expected to divert at least 375kt of plastics waste per year.
2030 Sustainability Goals
Last year Avient was proud to announce our 2030 Sustainability Goals and
share our commitment to drive sustainability for all of our stakeholders.

Plastics Europe and American Chemistry Council commitments to enable plastics
packaging to be 100% re-used, recycled or recovered by 2040.
Avient supports the Plastics Europe and American Chemistry Council commitments to
enable plastics packaging to be 100% re-used, recycled or recovered by 2040
It is estimated that 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end users.
https://www.avient.com/knowledge-base/article/transform-product-development-fea?rtype[]=1164
Take, for instance, using FEA for a metal-to-plastic conversion.
FEA allows a nonlinear analysis in plastic part design that provides a more accurate representation and can help to eliminate potential field failures or what might be unanticipated part performance.
