The most advanced
LSS training is for Black Belt level project leaders.
By utilizing a combination of Avient’s OnColor™ Colorants,
Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents, and Smartbatch™
Combination Colorants & Additives, we enabled the OEM
to reduce weight and carbon emissions in panel doors,
increase UV resistance in instrument panels and replace
traditional paint processes in central consoles.
Our partner was able to process the
waste into cabinet panels for equipment
protection.

Examples include:
• Unique technologies that improve the
recyclability of products and enable recycled
content to be incorporated, thus advancing a
more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation and reduce carbon footprint
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase
energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural
resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G
network accessibility
Avient employs approximately 8,700 associates and is
certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding
member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
