Certification helps drive continuous
improvement in producing sustainable DuPont™ Tyvek®
applications
LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 9, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced that it has
achieved International Sustainability and Carbon Certification
(ISCC) PLUS certification at its DuPont™ Tyvek®
manufacturing facility in Luxembourg.
ISCC PLUS is a globally recognized certification system for
developing sustainable supply chains through the incorporation of
bio and/or circular materials. This certification verifies and
validates the adoption of clear, transparent, and traceable
practices for organizations using the mass balance approach for
maintaining chain of custody.
Achieving ISCC PLUS certification is a significant step in
advancing circular economy principles in numerous end markets
served by Tyvek® products. For over 50 years, innovative
Tyvek® products have helped protect and improve the
lives of millions of people every day through use in healthcare
packaging, personal protection, construction, and several other
consumer and industrial applications.
"ISCC PLUS enables the use of sustainable raw materials derived
from renewable and recycled sources through the mass balance
approach. This helps enable the gradual replacement of fossil fuel
based raw materials and a lower carbon footprint for
Tyvek® products, which can be transferred to our value
chain partners who continue to eagerly seek more sustainable
products. We are proud of our role in helping people live longer
and healthier, and advancing sustainability is an important
extension of this role," said David
Domnisch, vice president and general manager, DuPont™
Tyvek® and Typar®.
DuPont has already achieved a 35 percent reduction of Scopes 1
and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) relative to 2019 baseline – surpassing
its 2030 goal eight years ahead of schedule. In addition, both the
Luxembourg and Spruance,
Virginia, facilities source 100 percent of their electricity
from renewable energy credits (RECs) and Guarantees of Origin (GOs)
to match the energy consumed in their operations annually (see
DuPont Sustainability Report). Now, ISCC PLUS certification of the
Tyvek® Luxembourg
facility advances our global strategy of enabling a circular
economy and working with our global supply chains to reduce Scope 3
emissions.
