For the purposes of this Sustainability Report, data and content, unless otherwise noted, include that of PolyOne’s Performance Products and Solutions (PP&S) business segment, which we have recently announced an agreement to divest. Custom products can be formulated with recycled PP and PE for improved recyclability, plus the portfolio includes halogen and non-halogen products. Generous PolyOne associates last year contributed 130 care packages for seniors, purchased gifts for 77 children, filled 75 stockings and 51 baskets of household items for families.

Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Performance Products & Solutions (PP&S) also achieved a record return on sales of 9.0%. Glasforms), a leading manufacturer of glass and carbon fiber reinforced polymers and advanced composite products. Glasforms), a leading manufacturer of glass and carbon fiber reinforced polymers and advanced composite products, with 2012 annual sales of $51.1 million.

These associates led to an almost immediate impact in POD and PP&S, where sales cycles are often the shortest within the company. Thermoplastic composites include these base resins, but are combined with a structural filler such as glass, wood, carbon or polymer fibers to enhance strength, rigidity and structure. We also have what we believe is the broadest composite platform of solutions, which include a full range of products from long glass and carbon fiber technology to thermoset and thermoplastic composites.

Examples include: • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • 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 • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Examples include: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
