As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we are excited to announce that as of late last year, the packaging for our DuPont™ Tyvek®, Tychem®, and ProShield® garments contains a minimum of 50% of Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content. We have started the implementation with selected models and will gradually expand it to more models throughout 2024.
This important initiative is a proactive response to upcoming regulations in Europe, designed to promote sustainable practices in the use of first-grade polymers and PCR raw materials.
We are very proud of our commitment to sustainability at DuPont Personal Protection, and this important step represents a significant contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases associated with plastic packaging. And that's not all - as part of our drive toward sustainability, we are also eliminating transparent outer bags used in Tychem® garment packaging, reducing virgin PE bags consumption.
Together, we can all play an important role in advancing sustainability along the value chain. By purchasing DuPont Personal Protection products, you are making a positive contribution to protecting our environment. Thank you for standing with us on this important journey.
