The Mevopur product line also includes color and additive concentrates based on polymers with 70%-100% bio-content and pre-tested raw materials which can help to reduce carbon footprint and offer alternatives to fossil-based grades. This includes Trilliant HC8910 glass-filled polyketone (PK) formulations with a lower carbon footprint than traditional nylon (PA6 and PA66) formulations for a high-performance alternative in applications such as biopharmaceutical clamps. Available in a variety of durometers and performance characteristics, the product family includes grades formulated without animal derivatives and a bio-based Versaflex HC BIO BT218 formulation developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing (excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of leachables and extractables) with a lower carbon footprint than traditional Versaflex HC TPE or silicone alternatives.

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator

reSound™ Ultra Low Carbon Footprint TPEs are formulated to achieve a negative, neutral, or near-zero product carbon footprint (PCF). 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 filler is sourced from plant waste that would otherwise be landfilled, which in turn would create methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.  The new bio-filled polymer from Avient has enabled us to reduce the carbon footprint of a range of our products by reducing the consumption of petroleum-based polymers.

Both are developed to offer comparable performance to conventional density-modified solutions but with less reliance on virgin thermoplastics, supporting the circular economy and reducing carbon footprint relative to fossil feedstock resin alternatives.  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 addition, Avient can provide product carbon footprint (PCF) values for these and other products using our PCF calculator, which was developed in accordance with ISO 14067:2018 Standard and third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland.  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

They achieve comparable performance to standard polyolefins, while offering a more sustainable alternative with a lower product carbon footprint.  Reduces product carbon footprint

To meet those needs, we are now offering added value for our customers in the USB-C cable market with a new product line of flame-retardant TPEs that incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) or bio-based content, resulting in a 15% to 25% product carbon footprint (CPF) reduction over incumbent virgin solutions.” 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
