THE SOLUTION Avient worked with EZR Sport to develop a solution and CORE™ Non-Phthalate Plastisols were chosen as a potential fit. In addition to meeting EZR’s material needs, Avient helped improve EZR’s sustainability by changing how CORE plastisols are delivered. Once emptied, EZR can collapse and stack the totes to be collected by Avient for future deliveries.
