Reducing vehicle weight improves efficiency, extends range and enables increased payload. In automotive applications, there is a demand for alternative materials to improve interior air quality and reduce carbon footprint. Avient’s transportation portfolio includes sustainable technologies that offer lightweight structural alternatives to metals, while delivering comparable or improved performance; reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions to improve interior air quality; specialty colors & effects enable paint replacement technologies.

Recycled content formulations help brand owners deliver on their sustainability goals, reduce waste, and work towards a circular economy. 可持续发展的目标很明确：conserve more material, reduce energy usage, and reduce plastic waste in the environment.  By using recycled content, the customer made significant strides toward the circular economy, conserved materials and reduced energy usage by over 65%.

Reduces Friction, Vibration, Heat Buildup Reduced friction, heat buildup, noise & vibration Reduced weight

It aids in reducing melt fracture, eliminating die build-up, and lowering torque for higher throughput. Reducing melt fracture, also known as sharkskin, has the additional benefit of improving optical properties and providing a higher-quality product appearance. Reduces melt fracture to improve optical properties

Reduced Energy Use Reduce blowouts and improve productivity Reduce energy consumption during the blow molding process

Improved performance, reduced weight contribute to $500,000 in annual savings Thanks to the improved stiffness, the manufacturer was able to redesign the tote to reduce the sidewall thickness. In addition, the manufacturer was able to operate at a slightly faster cycle time and with a reduced scrap rate.

Correct & Reduce Yellowing, Improve Quality of PET Corrects & reduces yellowing during recycling Reduces energy consumption

Reduced Cycle Times, Improved Aesthetics  Cesa™ PlastOne™ concentrates can reduce cycle times, reduce scrap rates, and improve part aesthetics in injection molding and extrusion processes. Reduced mold packing and hold times, lower injection and back pressures, and reduced scrap rates for shorter cycle times

Our technologies help to reduce material usage, improve container recyclability, and improve physical performance and reuse potential of recycled materials. ColorMatrixTM rePrizeTM IV Builder helps improve the physical and aesthetic properties of the reclaimed PET plastics and reduces energy consumption of solid state polymerization (SSP). HIFORMER™ Liquid Polymer Processing Aid provides sustainability and production benefits for packaging film suppliers such as longer production runs, reduced energy consumption and reduced waste.

It minimizes the risk of harming human health and the environment, while also reducing potential liabilities and negative impacts on our business. Our efforts to reduce air emissions—particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOx), Sulfur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)—are supported by capital investments, integration of cost- effective technologies and Avient is committed to eliminating or reducing waste generated by our operations and enabling our customers to meet their waste minimization goals.
