Carbon footprint is defined as the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) – primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide – that can be emitted into the atmosphere from various processes in the value chain (Nature Conservancy).

Fortunately, we believe these to be short-term in nature and additional expenses related to them will approximate performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Senior management believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

There are various types of natural silica, including diatomaceous earth (diatomite), which is used as an antiblocking agent. Graphite fillers, which can be natural flake or synthetic, provide electrical and thermal conductivity. Natural fibers also have lower abrasion than glass fibers, resulting in less wear on manufacturing equipment.

These and other projects benefit the planet by minimizing the amount of natural resources required to safely manufacture, transport and ensure first-time quality material to our customers.
