At Avient, we understand your challenges, from color design to design for recycling.

We've interviewed Chris Lefteri, Marshall Hamachi, and Owen Foster to glean their insights on materials-centric design, plus rounded up some success stories from the Avient Design team to illustrate how this concept plays out in the real world. 

As a result, Avient revenue from sustainable solutions has more than tripled compared to 2016.

We've distilled the best content from 12 legacy sites, and created additional resources for customers, investors and the media, so you're likely to discover a lot of new things about our capabilities.

From the aisle, the design affords a strong shelf presence and graphic billboard space, and in hand, the hinges are perforated for easy package separation of individual servings.

From healthcare to transportation to packaging, and everything in between, we help our customers meet their product design and sustainability goals.

They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the realignment of assets, including the planned closure of certain manufacturing facilities; the timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen disruptions of service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts; our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions; the ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies and retain relationships with customers of acquired companies including without limitations Spartech Corporation; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability; the speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market; our ability to achieve new business gains; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends; the amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

To start the transition from metal to plastic to streamline part weight, it’s important to define your objectives by asking the following questions:  The advanced polymer technology behind LFT allows thermoplastics to retain their strength and stiffness from sub-freezing temperatures up to nearly 400° F (200° C). The typical densities of these specialty plastics vary from 1.65 to 1.75 g/cm3, which is 30 to 40 percent less than aluminum, bringing a high-performance alternative to the table at a fraction of the weight.

Sustainable raw materials typically derive from sources that are bio-based or recycled. Bio-based raw materials are commonly derived from renewable plant sources such as corn, wheat, straw, sugarcane, and food and agricultural waste. PIR content is derived from scrap reclaimed within the manufacturing process via skimmers and sieves.
