DuPont Introduces Tyvek with Renewable Attribution (RA)
Kanesa D — November 12, 2024DuPont has introduced Tyvek® with Renewable Attribution (RA), a new solution designed specifically for healthcare packaging. This innovation aligns with DuPont’s sustainability goals by delivering a significantly lower carbon footprint, thus offering the healthcare sector a more environmentally conscious packaging solution.
The renewable attribution in Tyvek® RA is made possible by partially replacing fossil fuel-based feedstocks with certified bio-circular feedstocks in its raw material production, adhering to a mass balance approach. This method, aligned with the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS) standards, enables the reduction of CO2 emissions while decreasing reliance on fossil fuels.
With ISCC PLUS certification for its Richmond, Virginia, and Luxembourg facilities, DuPont ensures that bio-circular feedstocks in Tyvek® RA production are precisely measured, tracked, and verified.
