These materials help our customers lower total costs by replacing metals or other plastics while still meeting all performance targets as well as UL and ingress protection requirements.”

Plastics In many ways, plastics are a perfect example of why a circular economy is so important. If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean. Due to a lack of sorting and processing technology currently available, for example, most recycled plastics are reprocessed and downcycled into lower-value materials like carpet fibers; only 2% are recycled into products with a similar value to the original product.

Based on static and dynamic data, the virtual simulations can more accurately predict where an injection molded plastic part may crack or break when exposed to physical loading forces or a sudden impact (crash simulation). This enables customers to replace metal with plastic and take advantage of benefits like sustainability through lightweighting, design freedom, and easier processing.”   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
