It reduces carbon emissions while also reducing preform AA, which helps to minimize the risk of off-taste in bottle contents. ColorMatrix AAzure allows for further optimization in the bottle blowing process, producing a better quality bottle with improved mechanical strength, while also reducing carbon emissions.

Formulations are available with glass, carbon or specialty fiber reinforcements, including glass/carbon hybrids, in engineering polymers ranging from polypropylene to PEEK.

Gordon Composites™ continuous glass and carbon fiber barstock, laminates and composite springs, including springs for high temperature industrial applications Injection-molded PlastiComp Complēt long carbon fiber reinforced ETPU materials will be displayed in an integrated archery crossbow riser and barrel.

New metal replacement solutions and thermoplastic elastomers for sealing applications help manufacturers effectively and economically increase fuel efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and improve manufacturing efficiencies. With our formulation expertise, we can help customers to optimize their manufacturing processes, increase consumer appeal, and meet increasingly strict regulations regarding carbon dioxide emissions and fuel efficiency,” said Kendall Justiniano, PolyOne director of global automotive marketing.

These formulations offer a unique balance of temperature, impact and cost performance, while reducing the carbon footprint from the onset of a product life cycle. In 2021, we anticipate formalizing and standardizing our approach to Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). Avient’s EH&S Committee of the Board of Directors provides oversight of the systems that are in place to monitor and mitigate our carbon footprint.

Reducing weight in transportation can increase safety, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions.
