ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ SolO2: a recyclable solution
Recyclability has become a fundamental
requirement for convertors and brand owners.
Providing
solutions that are considered recyclable within the
colored bottle stream will thus be an integral part
of the recyclability strategy for both convertors and
brand owners.
Avient undertook a recyclability study to show
how bottles containing 0.09% Fortis Amber-1 and
4% Amosorb SolO2-2 achieve optimal results when
going through two full loops of recycling.

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, improve the recyclability of materials
and advance a circular economy
• Composite solutions to support accelerated
growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure
investment as the world demands greater and
faster connectivity
Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is
certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding
member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

o Improving Recyclability – Technologies that allow for increased use
of post-consumer recycled (PCR) material
o Light-weighting – Composites and CAI applications to reduce weight
and material requirements, which minimize energy and carbon
emissions
o Eco-Conscious – Health and human safety applications as well as
Avient’s alternative materials to replace lead, PVC, halogens, BPA
and other less eco-friendly options
o Avient CycleWorks – New innovation center dedicated to advancing
recycling and the circular economy through collaboration with
customers and brand owners

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants
Near-Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging
OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants for recyclable black
and dark packaging promotes correct sorting and
recycling of dark polymers.
This solution permits
black and dark color polymers to be detected by
near-infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment,
enabling subsequent recycling.
It is well known that detection and sorting of black
or dark packaging in material recovery facilities is a
complex issue affecting the packaging and recycling
industries extensively.

As we look to the future, we expect sales of our sustainable solutions to
accelerate and grow at an 8-12% CAGR, furthering the win-win benefit
trend for both Avient and our planet.
