This article will explain bio-based and recycled raw materials often used in plastics while exploring key factors such as color, performance, regulations, price, and supply. Similar to traditional materials, confirming which standards must be met and ensuring the sustainable plastic formulation is compliant is important. For example, regulations in food-contact applications include EU 10/2011 (Plastics Implementation Measures, Europe), National Standards (GB, China), and regulations established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, USA).

Avient acquired the Clariant Color business on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”). To provide comparable financial results, the Company references “pro forma” financial metrics, which include the business results of Clariant Color for periods prior to the Acquisition Date. Avient acquired Clariant Color on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”).

Working with virtually any thermoplastic base resin, we offer a complete line of existing plastic formulations for a comprehensive set of performance requirements. More Rethinking Materials for Automotive Aftermarket Parts Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics More Chemically Resistant Polymers for Next-Generation Devices Preventing environmental stress cracking in consumer and healthcare applications.

Color can be added to plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging for brand recognition, increased appeal, or drug identification. Formulated with bio-based polymers and pre-tested raw materials, these color and additive solutions help reduce the carbon footprint of medical plastics and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.  Formulated with pre-tested raw materials, this range of additives helps enhance the performance and functionality of plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.

This represents a 45% increase over the prior year quarter, pro forma for the Clariant Masterbatch business.” The Company highlighted that integration of the Clariant Masterbatch business is continuing to exceed expectations. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items and Attachment 7 for a summary of pro forma adjustments associated with the Clariant MB Acquisition necessary to reflect Clariant MB adjusted results in all periods presented.
