PRESERVE
Avient Corporation 62
• Preserving Key Natural Resources - Companies are being challenged to
mitigate high environmental impact processes such as water-intensive textile dyeing or
food spoilage
• Incorporating Renewable Materials - Adoption of bio-based raw materials
requires design and formulation expertise to overcome performance shortcomings of
neat resins
• Increasing Healthcare Regulations - Utilizing sustainable materials in
healthcare applications requires considerable support in navigating complex regulatory
requirements
• Increasing Regulatory Compliance - Non-Intentionally Added Substances
(NIAS) need to be controlled in sensitive applications
• Enabling Faster and More Reliable Connectivity – Substantial investments
in 5G infrastructure are required to unlock the potential of the Internet of Things
