MECHANICAL RECYCLING TESTING FACILITY Our CycleWorks™ Innovation Center in Italy provides the necessary research environment to test and evaluate plastic recycling in real-world conditions. This can help to develop recycling- friendly polymer solutions to increase the recyclability of plastic products.

Oxidation and heat aging in plastics frequently cause a chain reaction that forms free radicals, breaks up the long polymer chains and degrades the appearance and performance of the plastic. At every stage of the plastic life cycle, from manufacturing through processing and end use, Cesa Nox antioxidant masterbatches help maintain shine and transparency while preventing yellowing, surface cracking and odors.

Association of Plastic Recyclers Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

Testing was conducted to determine if formulations molded with the new additives would maintain sufficient antimicrobial functionality at the lower LDRs, and positive results were provided to the manufacturer. Finally, Avient’s willingness and ability to conduct and provide testing results saved the customer time and money. WithStand Antimicrobial Additives provide a proven, effective, durable, uncompromised solution to limit microbe development in finished plastic devices.

Tested in accordance with JIS Z2801 and ASTM G21-15 standards, these additives protect molded plastic parts by inhibiting bacterial growth (99.9 percent or more) and resisting fungal and mold growth. In addition to potentially causing odor issues, these microrganisms can cause detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to a finished plastic part. Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
