Home // Reduce Carbon Footprint by Replacing Traditional Materials Avient developed a technology suite that uses specialty engineered polyketone (PK) thermoplastics and helps our customers meet their goals to lower the carbon footprint of their products versus traditional materials, like PA66 and PA6. The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials—PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.

Avient’s vision is to create specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Starting with raw materials, we source only the best polymers, additives, modifiers, fillers, reinforcers, colorants and pigments. Our formulation expertise supports materials science decisions, while our processing expertise guides customers to use the materials properly.

Our offerings also include ECCOH™ low smoke and fume, non-halogen materials. You can rely on our expertise in wire and cable applications for more than just material and colorant selection. Catheter Materials & Medical Tubing

Adding value to your supply chain is what we do best, whether it’s with market-leading polymer materials, innovative fiber coloration systems or high-performance screen printing inks.

Rethink light weighting with a bio-derived reinforced formulation providing enhanced performance over traditional materials at a fraction of the weight       Protective Materials

The plastic packaging recycling target in Germany will rise to 63% from 2022 and the new law also introduces incentives for packaging producers to incorporate recyclability considerations into their packaging design, and to use recycled or renewable materials. This is where Avient’s sustainable material science solutions come into the picture. We are proud that our solutions are helping stakeholders across the plastics value chain, in Germany and globally on the journey towards a plastics circular economy.
