THE CHALLENGES Improving rPET Quality • Reduce yellowing, improve color and assure IV uniformity Enhancing Bottle Performance • Improve bottle strength, reduce acetaldehyde and minimize thread pulls & blowouts that cause high scrap rates Reducing Carbon Footprint • Reduce energy consumption and raw material usage while driving product efficiencies OUR SOLUTIONS Aligning our work with sustainability demands, we address those challenges for rPET producers, convertors and brand owners alike with technologies to improve both quality and performance, ensuring the recyclability of plastic packaging. Dose rate can be linked to online viscometer to correct the dose rate to compensate for variations in PCR feed IV.

Our PCR Color Prediction Service helps frame the available color space based on the PCR characteristics including opacity and undertone for recycled polyolefins, PET, and styrenics SmartBatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives based on Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefin Formulations which include 25–100% recycled polyolefin resin from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources.

100% PCR for Packaging: Rejoin™ PCR Colorants Enables PCR to be used as a carrier resin, effectively allowing a bottle or part to be manufactured with 100% PCR

Rejoin™ PCR Masterbatch uses PCR as a carrier resin, effectively allowing a bottle or part to be manufactured with 100% PCR. Define PCR color specification limits and find PCR grades to achieve a target color 4. The tool will increase the upcycling of PCR and will help to achieve pledged PCR usage rates.

Avient expands its recently launched reSound™ REC TPE AF 7210 grades to Asia, offering a range of PCR-based solutions for overmolding PP in demanding automotive applications. These new grades of TPEs, launched earlier this year in Europe, contain 25%-55% post-consumer recycle (PCR) content, complement the existing offering of PCR-based products for polypropylene (PP) overmolding, and are specially developed for automotive interior applications such as mats, grips, and console trays. The growing adoption of plastics with PCR content by Asian automakers in the past decade, especially for interiors, has also created a significant rise in demand for PCR-based TPE solutions capable of delivering excellent overmolding results on higher-performing polymers, such as PP,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

MATERIAL LIFECYCLE GLOSSARY OF TERMS Material Manufacturer - Raw material suppliers or processors who produce materials ready for manufacturing Reworkable Material - O� spec or scrap materials that are re-ground or re-worked back into the same supply or manufacturing process that produced them – these are not considered recycled Prime - Materials supplied that meet the required specification, ready for processing/ manufacturing Processor - Manufacturing of products ready for market e.g. molders and extruders Retail/Consumer - End user Reclaimer - Local recycling center for consumer goods Post-Consumer Recycle (PCR) - Materials derived from polymers reclaimed at the end of their lifecycle that have been through waste treatment Scrap Parts & Materials - Waste from the manufacturing process that cannot be reused within the same process or sold to the market Waste Treater - Regional industrial waste reclamation center Post-Industrial Recycle (PIR) - Material derived from scrap reclaimed within the manufacturing process that has been through waste treatment PRIME POST- CONSUMER RECYCLE (PCR) WASTE TREATER POST- INDUSTRIAL RECYCLE (PIR) REWORKABLE MATERIAL RETAIL/ CONSUMER RECLAIMER MATERIAL MANUFACTURER SCRAP PARTS & MATERIALS PROCESSOR

Avient will be featuring many of its latest sustainability technologies that can improve the customer experience of working with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and support the use of PCR materials in packaging, including: Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service - a digital service using sophisticated technology to help illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR for customers, including polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins. Sustainability experts from Avient will be on hand to help address recycling challenges in packaging, drawing on research conducted at Avient’s CycleWorks™ Innovation Center that focuses on mechanical recycling challenges and solutions.
