Plus, it’s recyclable, helping to minimize waste and reduce the carbon footprint. But that’s not all – Tyvek® is also lightweight, breathable, and offers excellent printability, making it an ideal choice for creating high-quality, sustainable packaging solutions.

By recognizing and celebrating sustainable healthcare packaging initiatives, DuPont aims to inspire more companies to adopt eco-friendly practices. This means that more healthcare products will be packaged in sustainable ways, reducing waste and making the industry more environmentally conscious.
