CLEVELAND – A new technology from Colorant Chromatics, a PolyOne business, can help reduce the amount of energy required to cool stadiums, shop

Significant reductions in median fiber length will reduce performance. The high strength-to-weight ratio of long fiber composites makes them a suitable metal replacement medium for those seeking to reduce weight.   Plastics also require fewer finishing operations than other materials and their increased design freedom can reduce component count eliminating assembly steps.  

By 2030, Avient will reduce Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% with 2019 as a baseline and achieve operational carbon neutrality by 2050. 2030 Sustainability Goals Planet-Climate Change, Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) Pages 59-60 Description of efforts to assess, monitor, and reduce exposure of employees and contract workers to long-term (chronic) health risks Discussion of strategy to (1) manage chemicals of concern and (2) develop alternatives with reduced human and/or environmental impact

Reparability: This concept is relatively new to some industries, and focuses on reducing waste in the circular economy. Also, if an organization wanted to reduce energy consumption during manufacturing or transport, it might consider a product of lighter weight or fewer parts.   Examples of value chain processes that enhance the functionality and sustainability benefits include production, optimizing design and material selection to reduce energy use, lowering the weight of parts to decrease fuel emissions during transport, and the end-of-life choices, such as enabling parts to be more easily recycled.
