Avient aims to highlight the key challenges in the automotive industry and how they can be overcome by adopting sustainable solutions The session will focus on three main areas: reducing vehicle weight, using recycled materials and reducing the carbon footprint of the product. In terms of weight reduction, innovative metal replacement strategies and part design optimisation techniques will be explored, with the aim of improving fuel efficiency and reducing material use.

In addition, the incorporation of high quality recycled materials to meet sustainability targets and regulations, such as the End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive, will be discussed. It will also discuss the importance of transparently calculating the product carbon footprint (PCF) along the entire value chain, following ISO 14067, 14040 and 14044 standards, and compare primary and recycled content solutions.

Avient will demonstrate how its expertise and solutions can help automotive equipment manufacturers (OEMs) overcome these global challenges by driving sustainability without compromising performance.
