One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications. They also improve the visual appearance of plastic components by reducing sink marks.

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. Efforts can be made and systems can be built to keep discarded plastic in the economy to either be upcycled, recycled, reused or composted.
