The honor was given during the LUXE PACK New York trade show last week for Avient’s ongoing efforts to reduce scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By 2030, the company plans to reduce GHG emissions by 60%, using 2019 as a baseline. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint 

With an improved reheat performance, the solution also aids in reducing carbon footprint, and has no impact on the recyclability stream.  Reduced energy consumption – reduced carbon emissions

POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – 2023年7月18日 – Avient Corporation today announced it is expanding the manufacturing of its UL-certified Syncure™ XLPE Cross-Linkable Polyethylene Formulations to Europe, helping to reduce lead times for global customers and support sustainable infrastructure.     As the global demand for these important formulations grows, it is increasingly imperative for us to serve our customers with local manufacturing,” says Holger Kronimus, vice president and general manager for Specialty Engineered Materials in Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and India at Avient, “By expanding the production of Syncure formulations to Europe, we can improve supply security and help reduce leads times for customers in the EMEA region and India.” Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint 

Adding this technology to bottle preforms enables improved recyclability and reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared with reheat-free PET resin for substantial production cost savings.  Inherent blue toning properties help reduce the appearance of yellowing to maintain clarity, while the additive also retains its reheat capability even after long-term recycling.

This helps manufacturers reduce the risk of film residue and create a better customer experience within high-end markets. Compared to current solvent-based coating technology, co-extrusion film has significantly reduced volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs) and helps reduce energy consumption and emissions by eliminating secondary coating and drying operations.

Mevopur™ Nucleation Additive Concentrates help produce thinner walls in polyolefin applications while maintaining mechanical properties and reduce Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) in HDPE. Mevopur™ Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) enable reduced material use, while meeting regulatory requirements for medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging. WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology provides antimicrobial and antifungal additives that reduce bacterial, mold and fungal growth in finished plastic parts used in hospital surfaces.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners & Colors, when added to PET and recycled PET (rPET) materials, correct and reduce the color variations and yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. Formulations also improve downstream manufacturing and reduce costs for converters, bottle blowers, and ultimately, CPG companies. ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ IV Builder is a patented, liquid additive for the manufacture of rPET that increases the quality and performance of the recycled material, while reducing the energy needed to produce it.

This comes as the German Bundestag has passed an amendment to the country’s 2019 Packaging Act, aimed at both avoiding, and recycling, packaging waste to reduce its impact on the environment, a move that will make PET packaging even more sustainable. For brand owners seeking to maximize their rPET usage up to 100% to achieve sustainability and recyclability targets, Amosorb 4020R offers a cost-effective solution with reliable oxygen scavenging performance with reduced yellowness and improved haze levels on final bottles. SmartHeat RHC also allows for a reduction in energy during the bottle blowing process, helping to reduce carbon emissions.

The addition of a catalyst is not effective in reducing dye migration and will reduce elongation/stretch of ink film.  Adding reducers will compromise the effectiveness of your low bleed inks.
