SHANGHAI – 3 de abril de 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialty and sustainable materials solutions and services, will showcase its extensive range of sustainable and specialty colorants and additives for both rigid and flexible packaging at Propak Vietnam 2024, one of Vietnam’s premier trade fairs for the packaging industry. The exhibition runs from today through April 5th.  

At the event, Avient will feature its latest polymer additive innovations for post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins, such as recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and polyolefins. These innovations include Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service, ColorForward™ 2025, and new grades of polymer additives for flexible film. Avient is dedicated to helping customers enhance the quality and functionality of their packaging while simultaneously improving its sustainability.

“Manufactures and consumers are increasingly demanding better recyclability efforts from the packaging industry,” said Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager, Color & Additives Asia for Avient. “As a packaging materials specialist, we strive to improve production efficiency, provide sustainability support, and offer innovative materials and technologies that benefit our customers globally.”  

Highlights from Avient at Propak Vietnam 2024 include:  

• Polymer Additive Solutions for PCR (rPET and Polyolefins): can enhance recyclability and properties of recycled materials to reduce environmental impact and help manufacturers create innovative products that pave the way to a more sustainable future through thoughtful design and material selection for PCR
