At DuPont, we are committed to protecting our environment. While always aiming for continuous improvement for more sustainable solutions, we offer you this Eco Pack option as an alternative to our standard packaging for Tyvek® 500 Xpert coveralls.
With this initiative and in line with our Sustainability Goals, DuPont Personal Protection contributes to the reduction of indirect GHG (Green House Gases) emissions. By purchasing these coveralls manufactured by DuPont, you will also indirectly reduce usage of virgin grade LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) in packaging and help protecting the environment.
Implemented the use of QR codes on markings alongside printed IFUs for all CE certified industrial garments range, investing significantly in the digital infrastructure to enable this change.
Plan to eliminate the IFUs in paper form once the European PPE Regulation requirements are clarified through either guidance or regulation.
DuPont™ Tyvek® is proud to expand our long standing Tyvek® Protective apparel recycling program to help our customers in Europe manage used Tyvek® and IsoClean® protective apparel and reduce wastage.

When the spread of the COVID-19 virus escalated to the level of a global pandemic in March 2020, many healthcare facilities and essential service facilities were left without the protective gear they needed to battle this deadly virus.
We collaborated with our value chain partners to launch a new global program, #TyvekTogether, to increase the overall availability of Tyvek® personal protective garments. Thousands of our employees worked day and night to make Tyvek® materials and patterns available to more organizations, working together to protect the healthcare workers who were saving lives and slowing the spread of the virus.
The #TyvekTogether program introduced a new specialized Tyvek® fabric to enable the increased production of an additional 6 million gowns per month for frontline responders. By the end of 2020, we had produced more than 100 million Tyvek®, Tychem® and ProShield® PPE garments for the fight against COVID-19—and we’re not stopping yet.
