We have categorized our portfolio of solutions and services into three drivers of sustainability—RENEW, REDUCE and PRESERVE. REDUCE Solutions to reduce weight and energy consumption

Reducing weight in transportation can increase safety, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions. These tapes and laminates combined high strength, unidirectional fibers and engineered thermoplastic resins to help reduce weight while maintaining exceptional strength and impact resistance. Polystrand™ extended the life of the trucks by 20–25%, and reduced weight to improve fuel economy.

This would reduce costs, ease certification and – by eliminating secondary extrusion processes – effectively increase manufacturing capacity.  Reduced costs: An estimated savings of $500,000 a year in production costs, primarily through reduced materials and energy costs. Increased capacity: Reduced cycle times from the single extruder pass yielded an increase in manufacturing capacity.

Avient will also have experts on-site dedicated to providing professional technology support services to help customers streamline production, reduce cost, and meet sustainability goals.     These formulations can also reduce VOCs and eliminate costly and time-consuming coating compared to traditional TPEs, offering a more sustainable process 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 

Reduce energy to the blowing lamps allowing preforms to heat faster b. Reduce blower pressure so bottles are easier to blow They lend greater control and consistency to reduce blowouts (where bottles fail to form correctly), reduce scrap, and drive improved productivity overall.

Developing strong anti-counterfeit protection is therefore essential to reduce the risk of low-quality, dangerous goods from circulating in the market. PLASTIWARD allows you to take swift counter-measures to reduce the possible infiltration of fake plastic products in the supply chain, thereby reducing the risk to consumers’ safety and damage to your company’s revenue and reputation. Increase sustainability, optimize color usage and reduce weight with just one technology

Complēt™ long carbon fiber (LCF) composites replaced aluminum to reduce weight and enable design freedom for a wheelchair OEM Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced aluminum to provide better fatigue resistance and reduce weight Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced PES composite reduced weight 40% and met FAA requirements for flammability and survivability

Knowing the PCF for raw materials is instrumental in identifying opportunities to reduce emissions, enhance carbon removal, and improve overall product development and process efficiency.   Our PCF Calculator empowers companies to assess their product's environmental impact based on Avient solutions and identify opportunities to reduce that impact through material selection or design. 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 

Reduces the risk of a potential fire hazard in product environments Reduces cycle times, maximizes throughput, and lowers operating costs Streamline production, reduce scrap and improve the physical properties of your finished part.
