DÜSSELDORF, Germany – October 18, 2022 – At this month’s K 2022, Avient will exhibit its latest innovations and initiatives for the plastics industry as part of its drive toward creating sustainable and specialized material 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 

Technological advancements such as automated material handling systems and RFID tracking in industrial and manufacturing supply chains, as well as increased food safety concerns, are driving a trend among distributors and warehouses to replace traditional wood pallets with more durable and sanitary plastic solutions.

Experts will be available to provide in-depth guidance and support on addressing critical challenges, such as improving cable performance, optimizing processing and manufacturing, meeting regulatory requirements, extending cable lifetime, and driving greater sustainability.   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  

Naturally, they contend this will drive societal trends and consumer response to color in the near- and mid-term future.  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 and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Nearly 40 percent lighter than the cast aluminum it would replace, the long fiber material also added the benefit of injection molding for faster, single-step production to drive down costs.

To drive engagement at all levels of the organization, financial incentives for all salaried personnel are partially tied to energy intensity and waste intensity targets. Furthermore, to ensure the ongoing prioritization of capital projects that drive energy, waste, and water efficiency, we have implemented a system for identifying and centrally funding projects that have the greatest impact on our sustainability goals.

Advanced composite materials are often used to replace a metal, wood, or other traditional material. Utility  — Traditional wood and metal utility poles and cross arms are increasingly being replaced by polymer composites because they are non-conductive, durable, and lighter weight than wood or steel, which makes them easier to install. Using composite material in automobiles can lower tooling costs and improve design flexibility for manufacturers, while improving fuel efficiency  and the overall driving experience for the consumer by reducing noise and vibration.

Plastic, wood, or metal reels are also available.
