Design and production priorities for EV supply equipment Government funding and support through various laws, tax credits, and development grants indicates that public EV charging equipment production will likely continue on a high growth trajectory. Here are key priorities to consider in the design and production of future EVSE:  

Antonello Decortes, Global Product Manager at Avient Corporation. Avient Corporation is dedicated to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements for product safety. By intersecting our broad portfolio of technologies with the product roadmaps of our customers, we help create differentiated and high-performance products that make the world better and more sustainable.

This expands the product line that launched earlier this year with PA6 resin derived from reclaimed end-of-life fishing nets.  We are excited to add to our recycled content product line with new resin matrices, continuing Avient’s commitment to leading the industry in sustainable solutions,” said Eric Wollan, general manager for Long Fiber Technologies at Avient.  Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

But for a global medical device manufacturer time had stood still for a key component in one of its products.  What’s more, the part’s outdated design made it inefficient to produce and resulted in a labor-intensive assembly of the finished product.   The new materials also offered quick set-up and faster cycle times, resulting in higher productivity.

CLEVELAND – Consumer, healthcare, transportation and building products manufacturers now have a high-performance material that offers excellent performance and sustainability in one, cost-effective, vinyl-based material package. At last, customers can avoid compromising performance to meet regulatory and sustainability objectives,” said Michael Garratt, president, Performance Products and Solutions, PolyOne Corporation. Compared to other flexible vinyls, Geon BIO materials feature a wider processing window and enhanced thermal stability, which may improve manufacturing efficiency to deliver reduced production costs.

Avient is committed to enabling 100% of our products manufactured for packaging applications to be recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2030. APR’s MPG program helps brand owners be more confident that the materials they incorporate into their products support recyclability.

Karibu’s top priority is providing customers with the highest-quality and safest products for their babies,” said Mr. PolyOne colorants provide bright, appealing aesthetics to please children and parents, and help the product stand out from the competition during the purchasing decision.   Karibu selected our TPE and colorants because they are superior to conventional products,” said Michelle Hearn, director of marketing for PolyOne GLS.

The impact of textile production on the environment   In addition, clothing production is a significant contributor to industrial wastewater pollution. With this technology, color is added during the production of the synthetic fiber, reducing the number of steps and, as a result, the amount of energy needed to add color.
