These solutions are made with bio-derived polymers, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and styrenics, with bio-derived content ranging from 70% to 100%. The PCF (Product Carbon Footprint) value calculated with Avient’s recently launched third-party certified PCF calculator is also provided.   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

Homepage // News Center // New Edgetek™ and LubriOne™ PKE Materials from Avient Replace Nylon and Acetal, Reduce Carbon Footprint The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials - PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.

This bio alternative offers the same performance as its prime counterpart but with a lower carbon footprint. The portfolio delivers improved resistance to harsh chemicals and hospital-grade disinfectants over other flame-resistant (FR) polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and copolyester. This cutting-edge tool offers an important data point for the carbon footprint of Avient’s materials so customers can better understand the environmental impact of products, meet sustainability goals, and navigate the complex landscape of reducing carbon emissions.

All are semi-crystalline materials that contain an abundance of carbon and oxygen. This is due to the low carbon footprint of the monomers, which is similar to that of traditional polyolefins. However, it surpasses ABS, COPET and PC alloys.

Yes, achieving this target will support Avient's achievement of Abs 3. In 2022, Avient is instituting an internal cost of carbon to better prioritize low-carbon investments. ETS, Cap & Trade or Carbon Tax)?

Carbon black is a form of paracrystalline carbon that has a high surface-area-to-volume ratio. IARC’s listing of carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen is based on laboratory rat studies only; studies on carbon black production workers have not shown a link between carbon black exposure and cancer. Consumer exposure to carbon black is negligible.

CARBON FIBER FIBERS PROCESSES PRODUCTS Molecular Structure Chemical Name Carbon, Graphite. The precursor undergoes several processes including carbonization and oxidation which produces high tensile & modulus carbon fiber filaments. Carbon fiber can also be produced from other carbon-rich precursors such as Pitch & Rayon.
