This reduction in energy consumption can not only cut costs, but it can also lower the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process. Reduced Carbon Footprint: Using recycle-enabling process aids can lower the energy consumption of the bottle-blowing process, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of the entire packaging lifecycle.

Following a period of poly-crisis that led to adopting coping mechanisms and showing resiliency, people often enter a period of experimentation as they seek solutions to global challenges such as carbon emissions, rising power demand, digitalization, and an increase in artificial intelligence (AI). The unpredictable evolution of AI factors in both stories and a need to favor solutions that positively impact carbon emissions.    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

Secondly, the use of the polyketone base resin offers a reduced product carbon footprint (PCF) compared to competitive nylon (PA) base resins (PA), helping to improve sustainability throughout the product life cycle. This combination of critical flame performance without PFAS, long fiber for high-impact performance, and polyketone for a lower product carbon footprint allows us to help customers improve their products while also lessening the collective impact on the environment.” 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

 Hiformer™ Liquid Masterbatches: offer a unique combination of chemistry, engineering, and customizable colorant and additive solutions for the specific needs of the application that encourages top performance, flexibility, and sustainability for packaging that can help reduce overall carbon footprint Avient is proud to offer sustainability-promoting, high- performing additives that can meet our customers’ most pressing flexible packaging needs, including improving a product’s carbon footprint, distinctiveness, and performance.” 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

How Avient Can Help Avient’s ultra-pure Stat-Tech™ Static Dissipative Formulations are polymeric formulations that combine select engineered resins with conductive additives such as carbon powder, carbon fiber, nickel-coated carbon fiber, and stainless steel fiber, that provide the precise level of electrical conductivity required for your application.

Some of the changes that will come into force as a result include the expansion of the deposit system to all non-returnable plastic beverage bottles, with non-carbonated fruit juice packaging joining carbonated drinks packaging in the scheme. SmartHeat RHC also allows for a reduction in energy during the bottle blowing process, helping to reduce carbon emissions.

This reduction in energy consumption can not only cut costs, but it can also lower the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process. Reduced Carbon Footprint: Using recycle-enabling process aids can lower the energy consumption of the bottle-blowing process, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of the entire packaging lifecycle.

CASE STUDY: MAXXAM™ REC RECYCLED POLYOLEFIN FORMULATIONS COLLABORATING TO REDUCE PLASTIC OCEAN WASTE AVIENT FORMULATES RECYCLED OCEAN-BOUND PLASTICS, MAINTAINING MATERIAL PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINT THE CHALLENGE The family-owned electrical component supplier, Hager Group, produces electrical switches, sockets, devices, controls, housings, and more for installation in homes and commercial buildings. The new recycled polyolefins have enabled the replacement of fossil fuel-based feedstock with more carbon-friendly recycled ocean-bound plastics. Using Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint Calculator, which has been third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland to ISO 14067 standard, the new Avient formulations enable a 50% carbon footprint reduction compared to the materials previously used.
