Instead, the outer glass is recycled and the PVB is reclaimed and reprocessed for various uses, including an alternative raw material source for polymers. The materials are a result of close collaboration with Shark Solutions, a global leader in advanced sustainable polyvinyl butyral (PVB) products. This technology brings together advanced material science and innovation to support customers’ goals and the circular economy.

Avient’s PCF Calculator marks a significant breakthrough by a specialty materials solution provider, offering cradle-to-gate emissions data to customers specific to the materials that can contribute to their upstream scope 3 emissions.   Over the past three years, Avient has made significant strides in developing materials to enable sustainability, introducing over 40 new product lines to incorporate more recycled content, bio-derived materials, lightweighting solutions, and energy-saving technologies. Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.

SHENZHEN, China – April 7, 2021 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, will feature its portfolio of sustainable materials and colorant technologies next week at Chinaplas 2021. These new and existing materials, additives, and colorants help to reduce energy use, increase the use of recycled content, and improve recycled material performance for applications in the packaging, automotive, healthcare, telecommunications, and consumer electronics industries. Examples include: •    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 •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

This strengthened sustainability portfolio will support circular economy goals and provide additional eco-conscious material options for EU customers. The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as: Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Barricade solutions are lighter in weight and show improved tear strength over general-purpose TPV and silicone materials. The naturally translucent material can be colored press-side or formulated in a custom pre-colored version. The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as:

Tracers, also called taggants, are unique substances included in a material to tag or identify it. Because they are unique to a manufacturer and product line, the confirmation of their presence in the material will substantiate the origin of the material to the specified manufacturer. Taggants can be used for different materials and different industries.  

Take a comprehensive look at the performance and sustainability benefits of this next-gen material solution. In the current industrial landscape, fluctuations in nylon supply and the increasing demand for sustainability commitments and materials highlight the growing need for viable alternatives.
