Patent and Trademark Office, which granted PDI two patents related to the process.

• Safer Handling Because synthetic fibers are flexible and weigh less than steel, they are easier to work with, lead to fewer weight-related injuries and completely eliminates fish hooks. • Dampening Synthetic fiber cables have excellent shock absorption and load dampening properties.

Our technologies are shaping production and people-related ecosystems to become increasingly connected and autonomous – ensuring a scalable, sustainable future.

The first step toward incorporating sustainability into part design is aligning any innovations with an organization’s sustainability goals, whether those innovations be performance or aesthetic related. 

Eftersom en romantisk eller dejtingrelation annat än inom övervakningskedjan också kan vara störande och kan skada moral och förtroende i organisationen, beroende på omständigheterna, så förväntar vi oss att alla anställda som är involverade i den här typen av relation använder gott omdöme och är medvetna om eventuella negativa konsekvenser deras relation kan ha för deras medarbetare. Om du inte har specifikt auktoriserats att tala för Avients räkning, ska du referera externt uppkommande frågor från investerare eller media till Investor Relations eller Corporate Communications-avdelningen. Därför ska ingen som arbetar för Avients räkning ge gåvor eller gästfrihet som rimligen kunde tolkas som ett försök att oegentligt påverka mottagaren i hans eller hennes relation med Avient.
