Within its global portfolio of engineered polymers, colorants, additives, and services for medical products, Avient formulates traditional materials and develops bio-based and eco-conscious alternatives for a more sustainable future. This bio alternative offers the same performance as its prime counterpart but with a lower carbon footprint.

Excellent alternative to wood, steel, or concrete electrical poles and structures that are lightweight, durable and provide longer service life. Get fast facts on these strong, lightweight alternatives to metal

This includes offering lower-carbon alternatives to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) without sacrificing performance, expanding our portfolios to include the use of bio-renewable feedstock and post-industrial or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and introducing new materials and services focused on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy.  These grades can offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional grades while achieving equivalent performance in many applications and industries, including transportation, industrial, consumer, electrical and electronic, and building and construction. 

This and alternative anti­fogging systems are able to increase the surface energy of the film to meet that of the water, which results in a lower contact angle of the water droplets. What about the alternatives to coating?

Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations: two new super tough PA6 and PA66 grades added to Avient’s recycled content portfolio, each containing post-industrial recycled content, resulting in up to 81% lower cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint than traditional alternatives made without recycled content, and will be presented during Avient’s technical seminar at NPE, “Exploring Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Polyamides,” by Jeremy Gray, Application Development and Technical Service Engineer, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient, on May 9 at 11 a.m. Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for Extrusion: for use in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) applications, it reduces friction between the polymer and the metal during extrusion comparable to a traditional processing aid but is formulated without fluoropolymers which may be classifiable as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) and will be presented during Avient’s technical seminar at NPE, “PFAS Alternatives: 2024 and Beyond,” by Sean Bernhardt, Senior Research and Development Manager, Color, Additives, & Inks, Americas at Avient, on May 7 at 3 p.m. and May 8 at 1 p.m.

Energizing Sustainable Alternatives We are just as committed to helping our customers develop and manufacture alternative energy applications. Alternative Energy

Magna represents an important investment in sustainable solutions, as brand owners seek alternatives to legacy technologies," said

Edgetek™ PKE and LubriOne™ PKE thermoplastics offer comparable performance and eco-conscious alternatives to nylon and acetal.

Edgetek™ PKE and LubriOne™ PKE thermoplastics offer comparable performance and eco-conscious alternatives to nylon and acetal.

This includes sustainable solutions that can enable recycling, support human health and safety, reduce energy use, and offer eco-conscious alternatives to traditional methods.
