THE IMPORTANCE OF PLASTICS FOR PACKAGING Compared to alternative materials, plastic is one of the most sustainable materials available for packaging applications. For these reasons plastics for packaging play an important role in everyday life, however, due to the high volume and rather short usage life of plastic packaging items, they require appropriate management, especially at the end of their life. Optimization of the plastic recycling process along the value chain is therefore of the highest importance and will foster a circular economy that helps to achieve the plastic industries’ sustainability targets.

Competition The production of plastics and the manufacturing of custom and proprietary formulated color and additives systems for the plastics industry are highly competitive. One of Spartech's subsidiaries, Franklin-Burlington Plastics, Inc. These products are sold to over 6,500 custom injection molders and extruders who, in turn, convert them into plastic parts that are sold to end-users in a wide range of industries.

These products are sold to over 5,700 custom injection molders and extruders who, in turn, convert them into plastic parts that are sold to end-users in a wide range of industries. Senior Vice President — Plastics Americas, M.A. These products are sold to over 5,700 custom injection molders and extruders who, in turn, convert them into plastic parts that are sold to end-users in a wide range of industries.

It is estimated that 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end users. As a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, Avient will collaborate to develop and implement solutions to end plastic waste with approximately 50 members across the value chain. Update: • The Alliance to End Plastic Waste is currently executing 27 projects globally that are expected to divert at least 375kt of plastics waste per year. 2030 Sustainability Goals Last year Avient was proud to announce our 2030 Sustainability Goals and share our commitment to drive sustainability for all of our stakeholders.

It also includes mating plastic threads formed during assembly. This helps to reduce added compressive loads or pressures on the plastic. The heat will melt the plastic around FIGURE 9 - Proper boss design FIGURE 10 - Boss design guidelines ESCR Design Guide 4 it, allowing the plastic to relax, reflow, and solidify.

Options for black, white and color markings are available on opaque but also transparent plastics. Custom concentrates are developed in our color matching labs to match the target color in the recycled polymer batch used by the plastic converter. Sortable Black Colorants Black plastic can be challenging to detect by infrared sensors during the sorting process resulting in the plastic being directed to waste instead of the relevant recycled polymer stream.

Additionally, plastic prefilled syringes can be color-coded for easy identification and customized to meet specific opacities in polypropylene (PP) resin, while laser marking additives can help create precise, solvent-free markings.  Formulated with pre-tested raw materials, this range of additives helps enhance the performance and functionality of plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.
