Most of the new TPEs are designed based on the concept of matching the surface energy between the TPEs and the substrates. This new technology opens up unprecedented opportunities for new designs where the TPEs need to bond to dissimilar substrates. Also, this new technology can reduce cost by reducing the number of TPEs needed for different applications.

Standard designs for steel and wood hammer shafts were compared to a new polymer shaft designed for injection molding. New polymers containing recycled content are being developed to reduce carbon emissions, energy usage, waste and pollution. Our design, engineering and technical services can support every step of your new product development process.

Senior management believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude. Adjusted EPS attributable to PolyOne common shareholders is calculated as follows: 2009* 2010* 2011* 2012* 2013* 2014* 2015* 2016** 2017** 2018 2018*** Q1 2019*** 2019 Q1 2020 Net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders $ 106.7 $ 152.5 $ 153.4 $ 53.3 $ 94.0 $ 78.0 $ 144.6 $ 166.4 $ 173.5 $ 161.1 $ 87.7 $ 22.4 $ 75.5 $ 33.1 Joint venture equity earnings, after tax (19.0) (14.7) (3.7) — — — — — — — — — — — Special items, before tax(1) (48.7) 24.2 (48.1) 55.1 46.3 164.2 87.6 23.8 32.9 59.5 58.7 12.2 61.7 9.6 Special items, tax adjustments(1) (27.2) (96.7) (24.7) (18.9) (13.7) (73.7) (58.7) (15.9) (24.8) (25.3) (25.1) (1.2) (5.9) (1.0) Adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders $ 11.8 $ 65.3 $ 76.9 $ 89.5 $ 126.6 $ 168.5 $ 173.5 $ 174.3 $ 181.6 $ 195.3 $ 121.3 $ 33.4 $ 131.3 $ 41.7 Diluted shares 93.4 96.0 94.3 89.8 96.5 93.5 88.7 84.6 82.1 80.4 80.4 78.2 77.7 86.7 Adjusted EPS attributable to PolyOne common shareholders $ 0.13 $ 0.68 $ 0.82 $ 1.00 $ 1.31 $ 1.80 $ 1.96 $ 2.06 $ 2.21 $ 2.43 $ 1.51 $ 0.43 $ 1.69 $ 0.48 * Historical results are shown as presented in prior filings and have not been updated to reflect subsequent changes in accounting principle, discontinued operations or the related resegmentation. ** Pro forma for sale of Designed Structures and Solutions segment (DSS). *** Pro forma for sale of Performance Products and Solutions segment (PP&S).

From here, the items are taken to a recycling facility. Bottles made of PET or rPET can be recycled into new bottles or packaging. Fortunately, there is new technology that can analyze the color of the PET or rPET to be used for a new product and predict the range of colors possible for the end product.
