It is widely used to manufacture films, bags, trays, bottles, and containers, and it has excellent overall properties such as impact and tensile strength, clarity, processability, colorability, and durability. For these reasons plastics for packaging play an important role in everyday life, however, due to the high volume and rather short usage life of plastic packaging items, they require appropriate management, especially at the end of their life. ISSUES WITH POST-CONSUMER RECYCLATES (PCR) Very often post-consumer recyclates (PCRs) are not of a good enough quality to withstand efficient processing, nor can they offer long-term stability for high-value or high-performance end applications.

There is more to measuring the sustainability of a company than just the physical impacts on the environment from manufacturing its products. Typically, environmental metrics are focused on the operational risk of raw material suppliers and polymer manufacturers – and the impact those products have on the planet. Avient focuses on ESG metrics that ensure employee safety, support a growing sustainable solutions portfolio, and positively impact our environment by reducing waste and energy consumption.
