The pandemic has negatively impacted every region and many end markets, but certain end markets such as healthcare and packaging are holding up well."

We have achieved significant growth in sustainable solutions, healthcare and composites in 2021. 

Our end markets include healthcare, transportation, packaging, consumer, building and construction, industrial, wire and cable, electrical and electronics and appliance. Our offerings also include proprietary inks and latexes for diversified markets such as recreational and athletic apparel, construction and filtration, outdoor furniture and healthcare. Vinyl is used across a broad range of markets and applications, including, but not limited to: healthcare, wire and cable, building and construction, consumer and recreational products and transportation and packaging.

a medical technology company that focuses on eliminating pain, speeding recovery, and preventing infection for healthcare providers and patients worldwide. Abernathy’s unique perspective gained while working in the healthcare and consumer products industries can add value when evaluating our commercial relationships in those industries. Jellison brings a unique perspective to the Board, especially with respect to opportunities to further specialize in the healthcare industry.

The potential financial impact can be estimated as the 2020 yearly revenue from Avient’s sustainability solutions: $790 million - $80 million that was used for Healthcare applications = $710,000,000 Cost to realize opportunity 59,800,000 Strategy to realize opportunity and explanation of cost calculation Our Research and Development teams are continually tasked with the development of new products and services, while continuing to adhere to standards defined by programs such as our Sustainability Solutions, where possible. Our products and their impact can be found making a positive difference in nearly every industry such as: • Delivering light-weighting benefits in rail, auto, and aerospace to improve fuel efficiency • Extending shelf-life and recyclability or food and beverage packaging to reduce spoilage and waste • Advancing healthcare innovation of medical devices with materials that enable disinfection as well as minimize the spread of infection Avient CDP Climate Change Questionnaire 2021 Tuesday, August 3, 2021 81 • In addition, specialized polymer and composite solutions are also helping ensure that customers’ sustainable products come to life, as Avient materials can be used in the design of innovative renewable technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels.

Our focus in our core growth areas of sustainable solutions, composites, healthcare, and emerging regions will take the company to new heights with a revitalized focus on innovation. In 2023, we launched nearly 30 such sustainability enabling solutions for customers within the consumer, packaging, transportation, healthcare, defense, and building and construction sector. For example, to meet the customer needs within healthcare industry in 2022, Avient launched Trilliant HC Glass Filled Polyketone, a lower carbon footprint alternative to traditional nylon materials that meets dimensional stability, impact and wear resistance requirements, while enabling the customer to address consistency of supply and sustainability objectives.

We take 3 strategies to enable our customers to lower their carbon footprint: Reduce the carbon footprint of the polymer • Enable expanded use of recycled content • Expand product portfolio to include more bio/renewable-based resources • Enable the use of more carbon-efficient alternatives Reduce the carbon impact during end-use • Lightweighting • Leverage design expertise to drive product efficiencies Improve the recycling process • Upgrade downcycled material to a higher quality level • Stabilize the polymers in the recycling process Our products and their impact can be found making a positive difference in nearly every industry such as: • Delivering light-weighting benefits in rail, auto, and aerospace to improve fuel efficiency Avient CDP Climate Change Questionnaire 2022 Friday, July 29, 2022 112 • Extending shelf-life and recyclability or food and beverage packaging to reduce spoilage and waste • Advancing healthcare innovation of medical devices with materials that enable disinfection as well as minimize the spread of infection • In addition, specialized polymer and composite solutions are also helping ensure that customers’ sustainable products come to life, as Avient materials can be used in the design of innovative renewable technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels.
