The awards competition identified winners of innovative plastics materials in eight categories. The winning parts are on display this week at POLYTALK 2014, a plastics industry summit organized by trade association Plastics Europe in Brussels. PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

This new additive joins the robust portfolio of ColorMatrix additives that enable improved recycling for plastic packaging. PET packaging can be easily recycled, yet plastic packaging waste in landfills and oceans is increasing worldwide.     Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

CLEVELAND – Collaborating with customers to replace metal in LED lights earned PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) recognition at the inaugural Polymers and Plastics Innovation Awards, presented by the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Benelux Division. Metal replacement is a primary objective for many,” said Craig Nikrant, president, Global Specialty Engineered Materials, PolyOne Corporation. PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes. Don’t wait too long to select materials: Engage with a polymer supplier early on in the design process to specify the exact material attributes you need. Take advantage of hybrid plastic/metal designs

In addition to advancing material science solutions to enable customers’ sustainability goals, Avient joined the Alliance to End Plastics Waste as a founding member in 2019 in support of its commitment to invest $1.5B over five years in projects that end plastic waste in the environment. About Oceanworks Oceanworks® is the global marketplace for recycled ocean plastics. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

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.
