promote continued sustainable innovation
WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 29,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today
announced that it is accepting nominations for the 2nd
annual global Tyvek® Sustainable Healthcare Packaging
Awards program. The awards program is designed to recognize
companies and organizations across the healthcare industry who are
embracing and driving sustainability throughout the packaging
lifecycle.
The awards program is open to any medical device and/or
pharmaceutical manufacturer, sterile packaging manufacturer,
healthcare facility, university, material recovery facility, or
other healthcare company focused on sustainable packaging made with
DuPont™ Tyvek® material. Other criteria include that the
initiative or solution be implemented within the last 18 months of
the award application entry date and show significant
sustainability-focused achievement and resulting metrics.
"Now in its second year, we're proud of this awards program that
nicely complements DuPont Tyvek's mission of delivering essential
innovations that help improve patient safety. We continue to shine
a light on advancements in sustainability that are being made
across the healthcare industry as DuPont also continues to make
sustainability a key focus," said Kelly
Reichert, global business director, DuPont™
Tyvek® & Typar® Roll Goods.
Interested companies should visit www.Tyvek.com/HCAwards to
review more information about the categories and criteria and
complete an award application online. The awards application
process will be open January 22 through May

sustainability, healthcare and packaging experts and industry
thought leaders, including representatives inside and outside of
DuPont, award winners will be announced in conjunction with the
Medical Packaging Conference hosted by DuPont in the Fall of 2025
(specific dates to be announced).
This awards program further supports the Tyvek®
Healthcare Packaging team's work to help advance DuPont's global
strategy of enabling a circular economy and working with global
supply chains to reduce Scope 3 emissions. DuPont issued an
announcement on September 19,
2024, committing to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by
2050. The net-zero commitment builds on the significant progress
DuPont has achieved since 2019 when the company established its
Acting on Climate Goal as part of its overall sustainability
strategy. As announced in April 2024,
DuPont has exceeded its climate targets – achieving a 58% reduction
in Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from a 2019 baseline and achieving a
39% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and
services and end-of-life of sold products from a 2020 baseline.
DuPont announced that the Luxembourg and Richmond, Virginia, facilities where
Tyvek® is manufactured, achieved ISCC PLUS
certification. These facilities source 100% of their electricity
from renewable energy certificates (RECs) and Guarantees of Origin
(GOs) to match the energy consumed in their operations annually
(see DuPont Sustainability Report).
