Dust-free Plastic Surfaces for Automotive Interiors Looking for a solution to prevent dust settling on plastic surfaces in automotive interiors? Plastic waste is a global problem, threatening our wildlife and habitats.

Bottom line: Evaluating alternative materials requires a clear understanding of how they can deliver lasting value beyond the initial price tag FIRE SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE As fire safety regulations continue to evolve and halogens are phased out, you’re under increasing pressure to find materials that meet stringent standards without adding excessive complexity or cost. Able to be recycled: used panels can be shredded to produce new reinforced plastic parts using thermoplastic processes like injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming

Avient’s global operations participate in Operation Clean Sweep, whose overarching goal is to ensure that every plastic resin handling operation achieves zero loss of pellet, flake, and powder. Operation Clean Sweep companies greatly help to prevent plastics from making their way into the ocean, promoting safety, health and cleanliness for marine life. We recognize the importance of responsibly managing plastic pellet loss within our operations.

Collaborating to Reduce Plastic Ocean Waste Avient collaborates with Hager Group and Plastic Bank to help reduce ocean-bound plastic waste 

From labware for diagnostic testing to protective equipment and sterile packaging to ventilators and medical devices, plastics are a crucial tool in saving lives and improving health and safety in our communities. As a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, Avient will continue collaborating to develop and implement solutions to promote infrastructure, education, innovation, and clean-up efforts.  These solutions help enable customers to achieve their sustainability goals by increasing the use of post customer recycled (PCR) and post industrial recycled (PIR) content, enabling recyclability, increasing adoption of biopolymers and minimizing plastic waste.

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 Plastic Waste Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on our business, results from operations, financial condition and liquidity; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; our ability to successfully integrate Clariant's Masterbatch business and achieve the expected results of the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including, without limitation, the acquisition being accretive; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends including at the increased rate; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an ability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, costs reductions and employee productivity goals; information systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

The growing adoption of plastics with PCR content by Asian automakers in the past decade, especially for interiors, has also created a significant rise in demand for PCR-based TPE solutions capable of delivering excellent overmolding results on higher-performing polymers, such as PP,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Our new reSound REC AF 7210 TPE series responds to this trend and addresses upcoming regulatory changes in export markets, such as the European Union, where a newly proposed ELV directive requires high recycle contents for plastic components.
