Demand from local and regional customers for pre-colored Mevopur materials stems from an increase in the Asia Pacific market for medical and diagnostic devices and pharmaceutical packaging.
Mevopur pre-colored specialty materials are available in a wide range of polymer families.
NOTE: On July 1, 2020, PolyOne and Clariant Masterbatches joined together as Avient, a new kind of materials company focused on conquering customer challenges and unlocking the potential for innovation and sustainability around the globe.
https://www.avient.com/investor-center/news/avient-provides-fourth-quarter-2020-updates
Pro forma for the acquisition of Clariant Masterbatch, the company noted sales for October and November increased 5.4% over the same months in the prior year.
Board of Directors approved an increase of 5 million shares available for repurchases, bringing the company's total authorization to approximately 6 million shares.
to Work® employee engagement survey, inclusive of our newly added associates from Clariant.
https://www.avient.com/investor-center/news/avient-announces-tenth-consecutive-annual-increase-quarterly-dividend
We are also benefitting from the recent acquisition of Clariant Masterbatch and early synergy capture.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on our business, results from operations, financial condition and liquidity; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; our ability to successfully integrate Clariant's Masterbatch business and achieve the expected results of the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including, without limitation, the acquisition being accretive; 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 effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions 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; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends including at the increased rate; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an ability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, costs reductions and employee productivity goals; information systems failures and cyberattacks; 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.

Another color-related challenge is the multitude of different color streams of
recycled PET, which can limit the uses for recycled colored PET.
In many instances,
these colored bottles may offer an outlet to utilize some of the less transparent rPET
feedstock as the colorant can mask the original recyclate color.
