Innovating for people and our planet.
Avient is always on the lookout for innovative and sustainable raw material sources so it can enhance the sustainability of its specialized polymer formulations without compromising performance. Plastic Bank’s capability, footprint, and reliability make it a trusted source of responsibly generated recycled raw material. Using this in our formulations enables us to produce high-quality, sustainable, high-performance polymer solutions that we can be proud of while knowing we are contributing to social good.
