Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator
Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculator evaluates the carbon footprint of our solutions to help provide an understanding of the environmental impact of end products.

The filler is sourced from plant waste that would otherwise be landfilled, which in turn would create methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.
The new bio-filled polymer from Avient has enabled us to reduce the carbon footprint of a range of our products by reducing the consumption of petroleum-based polymers.
Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Non-renewable energy sources, like coal and oil, are limited in supply and often contribute to increased carbon emissions.
It helped them reduce their carbon footprint by reducing evaporation.

Strategies to Manage Your Carbon Footprint
A guide to defining, reducing, and calculating your carbon footprint.

Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-
styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys
Introduction
A wide variety of thermoplastic materials are used to make molded products.
The focus for this study was to develop thermoplastic elastomer compounds that
would overmold onto substrates made from Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC),
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys.
As an example, for ABS as the rigid substrate, both OM1060 and OM1262 can
be used for overmolding.
