https://www.avient.com/news/new-polyone-oncolor-“shades-nature”-collection-revealed-fakuma-2018
As part of the OnColor™ Polymer Colorants masterbatch portfolio, this group of ten masterbatch colorants enables plastic to mimic naturally occurring materials such as stone, marble, and granite.
Formulated using a proprietary process, colors in the Shades of Nature Collection will give brand owners a wide range of possibilities in creating individual, artisanal looks in plastic.
In combination with surface texture and part geometry, these masterbatches give plastic parts the appearance of naturally-occurring materials so that, for example, designers could create a toaster that appears to be carved out of granite.

As legislation sets new targets for increasing the recycled content in plastic packaging, safeguarding the quality of rPET is critical, especially for food-contact applications.
Designing additives and recycling processes with circularity in mind is essential for the future of sustainable plastic packaging.
The journey is challenging, but with continuous innovation and a commitment to sustainability, a circular economy for plastics is achievable.

• The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
• Changes in laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business;
• 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 achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials (APM);
• An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
• Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;
• Information systems failures and cyberattacks;
• Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
Examples include:
• Dyneema®, the world's strongest fiber™, enables
unmatched levels of performance and protection
for end-use applications, including ballistic
personal protection, marine and sustainable
infrastructure and outdoor sports
• Unique technologies that improve the
recyclability of products and enable recycled
content to be incorporated, thus advancing a
more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation and reduce carbon footprint
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase
energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural
resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G
network accessibility
