Avient’s global operations participate in Operation Clean Sweep, whose overarching goal is to ensure that every plastic resin handling operation achieves zero loss of pellet, flake, and powder. Operation Clean Sweep companies greatly help to prevent plastics from making their way into the ocean, promoting safety, health and cleanliness for marine life. We recognize the importance of responsibly managing plastic pellet loss within our operations.

Collaborating to Reduce Plastic Ocean Waste Avient collaborates with Hager Group and Plastic Bank to help reduce ocean-bound plastic waste 

From labware for diagnostic testing to protective equipment and sterile packaging to ventilators and medical devices, plastics are a crucial tool in saving lives and improving health and safety in our communities. As a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, Avient will continue collaborating to develop and implement solutions to promote infrastructure, education, innovation, and clean-up efforts.  These solutions help enable customers to achieve their sustainability goals by increasing the use of post customer recycled (PCR) and post industrial recycled (PIR) content, enabling recyclability, increasing adoption of biopolymers and minimizing plastic waste.
