Solutions to advance a circular economy and minimize plastic waste

The gases form a cellular foam
structure in the plastic that reduces the amount
of material needed and hence the part’s
weight.
They can also be
part of the chemical foaming process, achieving
a material expansion of up to 50%.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

According to the American Chemistry Council, plastic components make up 50 percent of a vehicle’s volume, but only 10 percent of its weight.
Using Polystrand materials extended the life of truck trailers and reduced weight to improve fuel economy.
The solution increased loading per square foot and provided a moisture and debris barrier, and because they are thermoplastic, these CFRTP materials can be more easily recycled compared to alternative materials.

It is estimated that 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end users.
By 2030, to ensure alignment with Avient’s expectations on
environmental, social and governance requirements, Avient
will assess its top suppliers representing 90% of our total raw
material costs.
As a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste,
Avient will collaborate to develop and implement solutions to
end plastic waste with approximately 50 members across the
value chain.
