Solutions to advance a circular economy and minimize plastic waste

One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications. They also improve the visual appearance of plastic components by reducing sink marks.

Last year, we committed to using 50 percent of non-virgin petroleum plastic for our products by 2030, part of our long-term commitment to reduce our environmental impact. Avient’s reSound R materials were recently recognized as a finalist in the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2021, with winners to be announced on November 5.  Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Plastics In many ways, plastics are a perfect example of why a circular economy is so important. If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean. Efforts can be made and systems can be built to keep discarded plastic in the economy to either be upcycled, recycled, reused or composted.

OnColor™ Color Concentrates for Non-Phtalate PVC Formulations Plasticizers are a major component in PVC formulations. There are different chemistries, including formulations that contain phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers. Due to the rise in non-phthalate plasticizer demand, Avient offers a range of color concentrates suitable for these formulations.
