Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives comprise a portfolio of consistent, compliant functional additives to help protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical packaging. This broad line of additives includes Mevopur chemical foaming agents that can help reduce material use by up to 20 percent, providing another way to increase sustainability in healthcare packaging products. These functional additives enable the material surface to repel water or other liquids to deliver the last drop out of a package or devices such as pipette tips.

The study addresses the challenges of color matching in PCR for rigid packaging, offering options that can create global color consistency, quality, and circularity.   Bridging from the EverMinds™ platform, Borealis and Avient recently completed a joint application study investigating how to optimize color matching when using post-consumer recycled material (PCR) in rigid packaging applications. In order to enhance the sustainability of rigid packaging, the industry is seeking ways to incorporate higher amounts of PCR into its products without compromising on functionality or shelf appeal.

Developed by a global team, many of whom work in the four Avient ColorWorks™ design and technology centers around the world, this unique tool has become invaluable to plastic product designers and marketing professionals seeking help in making more informed color choices for new products and packaging.  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

These solutions have numerous potential applications, such as components of drug delivery devices, in vitro diagnostic equipment, surgical instruments, medical devices, and pharmaceutical packaging. The ISCC PLUS certification is a voluntary system applicable to the bioeconomy and circular economy for food, feed, chemicals, plastics, packaging, textiles, and renewable feedstock derived from a process using renewable energy sources.
