This includes lower-carbon alternatives to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) without sacrificing performance, portfolio expansions including bio-renewable feedstock and post-industrial or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and new materials and services focused on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy. Maxxam™ REC, Maxxam™ BIO, and Nymax™ BIO grades: An expanded portfolio of recycled and bio-based polyolefin and polyamide formulations now manufactured in Europe. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

More brand owners in the plastics and rubber industries are now looking for sustainable and innovative alternative materials that can also meet performance demands," says Flight Xu, General Manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for Avient, “As a global provider of specialized TPEs and specialty engineered materials, we have also developed lightweight, recycled, bio-based, and eco-conscious materials with a lower carbon footprint than virgin alternatives to support sustainability goals from conception to commercialization.”   reSound™ REC TPEs: specially developed for automotive interiors, formulated with 55% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content to offer a more sustainable alternative to standard TPE grades without compromising performance criteria such as ultraviolet (UV) stability, low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, low odor, and low fogging in applications such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) nozzles, interior mats, and cup holders Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy    

Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers: reSound™ REC Recycled content TPEs for enhanced sustainability

Water usage is primarily confined to essential sanitary applications and process cooling, with a notable emphasis on closed-loop recycling to minimize consumption. Information on water stress, water withdrawal, recycling/reuse, and discharge is provided in the Metrics section of this report or in Avient’s CDP Water Security Report.
