These materials also offer a sustainability benefit
through a reduced carbon footprint because PK
base resin production emits up to 61 percent less
carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon, helping to improve
sustainability over the end-product lifecycle.

Based on the risk of the proposed product or process change, Avient may advise the supplier
what level of detail and planning is required.
The extent of the controls
may vary, depending on the nature and complexity of the product and processes, but should
normally include:
Evaluation and qualification of sub-tier supplier facilities
Avient and/or Avient’s customer, where applicable
Control of nonconforming material
Corrective action and preventive action programs
A continuous quality improvement program
Where appropriate and agreed upon by the supplier, Avient may specify what sub-tier suppliers
may be used, evaluate and qualify the sub-tier supplier’s facilities, and assist the supplier in
controlling the sub-tier supplier.
