Made from renewable sources, materials like reSound™ BIO formulations help reduce carbon footprint and can perform like traditional TPEs. 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

In automotive applications, there is a demand for alternative materials to improve interior air quality and reduce carbon footprint. Case Study: Automotive OEM Lowers Carbon Footprint With Avient  The Solution & Impact By utilizing a combination of Avient’s OnColor™ Colorants, Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents, and Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives, we enabled the OEM to reduce weight and carbon emissions in panel doors, increase UV resistance in instrument panels and replace traditional paint processes in central consoles. 

Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Launches New Black Masterbatch Colorants with Sustainable Carbon Black OnColor RC Environmental Black is made using Bolder Black®, a reclaimed version of carbon black made from scrap rubber. It creates a smaller carbon footprint than virgin carbon black because it uses 90 percent less water and 61 percent less electricity while emitting 90 percent less carbon dioxide in its manufacturing process.*   “We continue to look for ways to help our customers meet their sustainability goals by developing products that are environmentally responsible,” says Kevin Jones, general manager, PolyOne Color & Additives, North America.

Avient Announces Industry-First Carbon Negative and Carbon Neutral Thermoplastic Elastomers   reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs: These TPE formulations offer an industry-first cradle-to-gate negative, neutral, or near-zero product carbon footprint (PCF) while delivering comparable performance to traditional TPEs.  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 

The data sheet of each Mevopur bio-based concentrate will include the percentage of bio-based content and the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) value to help healthcare product manufacturers calculate a product's environmental impact.   Another bio-based solution that can help healthcare manufacturers decrease the carbon footprint of their products is the recently launched Versaflex™ HC BIO thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
