The term of a Free-Standing Appreciation Right may not extend more than ten years froff m the date of grant. In reviewing competitive market data forff 2016, we drew froff m two independent sources. The second independent source of data that we used to augment the peer proxy analysis was the Consultant’s analysis of competitive market data relating to other applicable general industries.

These PA6-based Nymax REC formulations contain between 20 and 100 percent recycled content from registered sources approved by the European Union regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), such as recycled textiles. Expanding production of these grades to Istanbul, using locally sourced recycled content, means we can offer Turkish and Middle Eastern countries these REACH-compliant solutions while helping to reduce the environmental impact of transporting these materials,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

While we have collected water data from our manufacturing facilities since 2012, increased water data accuracy allows us to better understand our water sources, withdrawal rates, and discharges. These plans will provide a roadmap for identifying sources, recycling, alternative uses, and tracking for sites where we can have the biggest impact.
