Additional renewable energy will still be needed in Europe to offset the related grid emissions as will we also need to identify similar outlets in the Americas and Asia Pacific. · By 2030, Avient will obtain directly or contract for 60% of its electricity demand from renewable sources and achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050. · We have established a product carbon footprint team that focuses on providing product-specific carbon footprint metrics based on where and how the product is manufactured. · Our position in enabling the use of recycled materials, bio-renewable solutions, renewable energy, or energy reductions requires manufacturing in a manner and light weighting of transportation vehicles so that they contribute to more efficient value chains and accelerated lower-carbon transitions for our customers. · In 2021, we delivered $915 million in sustainable solutions sales, as defined using critieria aligned with the FTC 2012 Guide for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims. · We are evaluating our Asia Pacific go-to-market strategy, especially in China. While we have a very small footprint in other rest of world countries, such as Singapore, Thailand, Vientam, Malaysia, it is difficult to receive the resources needed to make substantial decarbonization action in these countries. · Well-documented and integration of oversight of the development and performance of climate-related solutions will help to ensure product-level carbon intensity reductions. We enable reduced carbon footprint technologies, improved recyclability, increased recycle content, and bio-derived solutions. · We partner with EcoVadis to evalute our prioritized suppliers on environmental, social, and governance requirements aligned with the UN Global Compact principles. · By 2030, to ensure alignment with Avient’s expectations on environmental, social and governance requirements, Avient will assess its top suppliers representing 90% of our total raw material costs. · Avient's sustainable solutions seek to solve our customer's complex sustainability challenges by reducing demand for raw materials and enabling the use of more recycled content, formulating with bio-polymers, and lightweighting materials. · Centralization of efforts will be beneficial in order to achieve ambitious net-zero aligned strategic milestones. · Talent development and retention in expertise areas of emerging technologies that can be deployed within our operations and support clean electrification and evaluation of resilient, diverse, and alternative energy generation models is ongoing. · We are a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW).

Beyond running and walking, these insoles can be a game-changer for sports such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, etc. where repeated impacts from jumping and running are prevalent. © 2023, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more about how Polystrand continuous fiber reinforced composites can benefit your product, call +1.844.4AVIENT or visit www.avient.com/composites

One way to achieve this is to switch to bio-polymers where possible. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.

However, metals may be preferred for applications with high-temperature requirements or where production volume, assembly steps, or secondary processing needs don’t warrant tooling change or investment in new equipment. HOW SUPPLIERS CAN HELP EVALUATE MATERIAL TRANSITION Successfully using composites goes beyond simply swapping one material for another. Our experts act as an extension to your design and engineering teams to support your projects from start to finish.
