SUSTAINABILITY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
• Revenue from sustainable solutions expected
to grow 18% in 2021 as our innovation efforts
and collaboration with customers continues to
accelerate
• Investments centered around innovation and
global sustainability megatrends
o Enabling a circular economy –
Technologies that allow for increased use of
post-consumer recycled (PCR) material and
improve recyclability of plastics
o Light-weighting – Composites and CAI
applications to reduce weight and material
requirements, which minimize energy and
carbon emissions
o Eco-Conscious – Health and human safety
applications as well as Avient’s alternative
materials to replace lead, PVC, halogens,
BPA and other less eco-friendly options

• Updated 2030 Sustainability Goals
• Further disclosure on key Environmental,
Social, and Governance impacts
• Joined U.N.
With the Clariant Color business
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.
