促进循环经济

随着全世界继续从线性经济转向循环经济,Avient 很荣幸能帮助提供解决方案。循环经济旨在消除废弃物和污染,延长产品和材料的使用周期,并再生自然系统。Through our design expertise and materials science, we help our customers reduce material usage, enable recyclability or recycle content, and improve physical performance. 通过我们的设计专业知识和材料科学,我们帮助客户减少材料使用,实现可回收性或回收成分,并提高物理性能。With resources like Cycleworks™ Innovation Center for Plastic Recycling and Color Prediction Service, Avient continues to strengthen our expertise to enable our customers to meet their sustainability commitments.

In alignment with our customers, we set a 2030 sustainability goal to enable 100% of our materials for the consumer packaging market to be recyclable, reusable, or compostable. While we continue to make progress on this goal, we recognize that only 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end-users.* Through our alliances and partnerships, we remain committed to ending plastic waste in the environment though global investments and projects.

减少碳足迹

What is a carbon footprint?

Carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) generated by individual actions. 公司的碳足迹包括供应链、物流、所有产品的使用和处置产生的所有排放。

Avient 如何帮助减少碳足迹?

We start by helping our customers understand the carbon footprint of their existing materials through Avient’s product carbon footprint calculator, certified by TÜV Rheinland. We collaborate across the value chain from suppliers to converters and brand owners to identify opportunities to help meet their sustainability goals. 我们通过以下方式降低碳足迹:

  • 具有更低碳足迹的技术
  • Lightweighting and design
  • 提高可回收性
  • 增加回收成分
  • 生物衍生解决方案

More detail about Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint calculator can be found in the Product Excellence section of the sustainability report.

Developing More Sustainable Alternatives

The need for more sustainable alternatives to existing materials are driven by a range of factors from increased performance requirements, to meeting consumer preferences, to addressing evolving legislation. Avient has developed technologies to address these needs, including composites that lightweight to decrease carbon emissions, specialty additive alternatives that enable more recyclable products, and biobased solutions that lower product carbon footprint.

Regulations related to chemicals are also evolving globally. As certain chemicals are required to be replaced, our customers need more sustainable alternatives to meet or exceed the performance requirements of their applications. Avient’s product stewardship team monitors the status of various chemistries and works with our R&D teams to drive the innovation pipeline with these alternative solutions.
