The annual event is Asia’s leading technology-oriented plastics and rubber trade fair dedicated to helping designers, brand owners, and manufacturers boost the performance, aesthetics, efficiency, and sustainability of their products. At Avient, we’re committed to helping the plastics industry follow the latest regulations while enhancing product performance and making manufacturing more cost-effective," says Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager, Color & Additives Asia at Avient. ColorForward™ 2026: an annual color trend forecasting guide for the plastics industry developed based on global societal trends to support the development of impactful aesthetics for new consumer products.

It is estimated that 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end users. As a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, Avient will collaborate to develop and implement solutions to end plastic waste with approximately 50 members across the value chain. Update: • The Alliance to End Plastic Waste is currently executing 27 projects globally that are expected to divert at least 375kt of plastics waste per year. 2030 Sustainability Goals Last year Avient was proud to announce our 2030 Sustainability Goals and share our commitment to drive sustainability for all of our stakeholders.

Most Recycled Plastic One major reason? It’s the most recycled plastic on the planet. For example, this directive has set a target for plastic bottles.

It also includes mating plastic threads formed during assembly. This helps to reduce added compressive loads or pressures on the plastic. The heat will melt the plastic around FIGURE 9 - Proper boss design FIGURE 10 - Boss design guidelines ESCR Design Guide 4 it, allowing the plastic to relax, reflow, and solidify.

Options for black, white and color markings are available on opaque but also transparent plastics. Custom concentrates are developed in our color matching labs to match the target color in the recycled polymer batch used by the plastic converter. Sortable Black Colorants Black plastic can be challenging to detect by infrared sensors during the sorting process resulting in the plastic being directed to waste instead of the relevant recycled polymer stream.
