CASE STUDY: MAXXAM™ REC RECYCLED POLYOLEFIN FORMULATIONS COLLABORATING TO REDUCE PLASTIC OCEAN WASTE AVIENT FORMULATES RECYCLED OCEAN-BOUND PLASTICS, MAINTAINING MATERIAL PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINT THE CHALLENGE The family-owned electrical component supplier, Hager Group, produces electrical switches, sockets, devices, controls, housings, and more for installation in homes and commercial buildings. THE IMPACT The new Maxxam REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations from Avient enabled Hager to bring the new cubyko leaf to market quickly, with a first launch in the French market in January 2024. Using Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint Calculator, which has been third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland to ISO 14067 standard, the new Avient formulations enable a 50% carbon footprint reduction compared to the materials previously used.

According to the 2015 Special Report on Paddlesports conducted by The Outdoor Foundation, 21.7 million people reported participating in canoeing, kayaking, rafting or stand up paddling—an increase of more than 3 million enthusiasts since 2010. Plus, composites won’t conduct cold or heat as aluminum does.

This pure metal replacement solution can be customized to meet specific density requirements, formulated to meet a broad modulus range, and engineered to meet complex design specifications. Ideal applications include collimator components, lining for walls or cabinetry in X-ray suites, and enclosures to protect sensitive electrical and electronic components regularly exposed to X-rays.
