According to the American Chemistry Council, plastic components make up 50 percent of a vehicle’s volume, but only 10 percent of its weight.

For example, an EU directive for use of recycled PET (rPET) in beverage bottles will increase from 25 percent in 2025 to 30 percent in 2030. The new 4020G grade offers up to 50 percent lower haze and reduced impact on the PET recycle stream compared to previous grades, while maintaining the same reliable active oxygen scavenging performance. This solution improves the viability of rPET by reducing haze and reducing yellowing by 50 percent during the mechanical recycling process.

CLEVELAND – December 4, 2023 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, proudly announces the successful completion of the Responsible Care® 14001 (RC14001®) certification process, achieving compliance globally across 48 Avient sites. The participation of 48 facilities worldwide is a testament to the hard work and determination of our personnel to expand our previously held central certifications beyond the U.S. to include our global sites, even in countries where environmental and safety standards may be less stringent,” said Scott Buchanan, vice president, Environmental, Health & Safety at Avient Corporation.

Five percent or less of our products by total sales revenue are classified as category 1 or 2 health hazards in accordance with the Globally Harmonized system (GHS) for classification. Avient successfully achieved a Global Central Certification for RC14001 Management System for 48 locations.

It is a patented liquid formulation that can reduce AA by up to 80 percent in the preform, helping to counter off-taste in bottled contents. One final benefit is a reduction in the energy required to heat preforms, which fosters roughly 25 percent lower carbon emissions. The EU Council recently adopted a directive which requires PET bottles to include 30 percent of rPET by 2030.
