2024 Outlook
“In the first quarter, we expect demand to continue to improve in our two largest end markets,
packaging and consumer, as destocking comes to an end and our sustainable solutions
portfolio expands.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the
timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, environmental remediation
costs, mark-to-market adjustments associated with benefit plans, acquisition related costs, and
other non-routine costs.

Growth in the
3POLYONE CORPORATION
polymer distribution market is highly correlated with growth in the base polymer resins market.
This increase is largely due to a $3.3
million mark-to-market loss in 2017 as compared to an $8.4 million mark-to-market gain in 2016.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw
material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal
proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of
certain items, such as, but not limited to, mark-to-market adjustments associated with benefit plans, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs.

Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The
selected resin must offer significant savings over the
current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material
and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration
of the low-cost computer market with a competitive
connector.
Working closely with the
manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material
required a special combination of properties:
• A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of
signal dampening prescribed
• Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective
electrical connection and at the same time allow for
snap-fit installation
• A cost-effective solution that would enable the
manufacturer to compete in this new market
Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more
than 30 different materials.

Polyolefin Compatibilizer for Enhanced Recycling
RECYCLED MATERIAL IN A CHANGING
MARKET
Legislation globally is driving change towards
increased quantities of post-consumer recycled
(PCR) materials, further encouraged by the
implementation of usage targets and new tariffs.
Both legislation and industry
goals have created an increased demand for
recycled material across the plastics industry, but
especially within the packaging market.
