Solutions to help reduce carbon footprint by lightweighting using recycled materials in injection molded and extruded applications for automotive and consumer goods industries, such as Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents developed to reduce material consumption, part weight, and cycle times while maintaining excellent surface finish and eliminating sink marks, and can also serve as nucleating additives in direct gassing foam extrusion processes
Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants: based on polysulfone and PEEK resins with the capability of withstanding up to 1,000 autoclave cycles and high-heat sterilization at 150°C, these colorants are formulated with ingredient materials that have been successfully tested for ISO 10993 biocompatibility and are available in a line of bright and vivid transparent or opaque shades

This is just one example of the work our teams are doing across Avient’s facilities to deliver on our annual waste goal of 3% reduction of waste to landfill intensity.
In 2023, ongoing remediation work on behalf of Avient continued on schedule, and planning was concluded for future remediation projects.
On a daily basis, plant personnel monitor structural controls and work practices at our facilities via routine daily rounds.

Working with Avient Design on this project gave me a good sense of what working in the industry is like.
This included regular critiques and feedback sessions, which helped the students refine their designs and push their work to a higher level.
Working with Georgia Tech's Industrial Design students has been an incredibly rewarding experience," said Jake Salter, Program Manager at Avient Design.
