DuPont Water Solutions has been awarded the 2025 BIG Innovation Award by Business Intelligence Group for its advancements in water purification and reuse technologies. The company was recognized for its technological innovations, including the launch of the Water Solutions Sustainability Navigator, a digital tool helping water producers estimate and compare sustainability indicators across different treatment technologies.

The company's FilmTec™ BW30 PRO-400 RO elements, launched in 2022, demonstrate improved efficiency in transforming salty water into freshwater using lower operating pressures. The Sustainability Navigator tool allows users to compare four water treatment technologies: reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, ion exchange resins, and membrane bioreactors, with calculations validated for ISO compliance.

DuPont's water technologies currently purify more than 50 million gallons of water per minute across 112 countries, serving water treatment municipalities, seawater desalination plants, and industrial users.

DuPont (NYSE: DD) has launched nominations for its 2nd annual global Tyvek® Sustainable Healthcare Packaging Awards program. The initiative aims to recognize healthcare industry organizations driving sustainability in packaging solutions using Tyvek® material. The program is open to medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facilities, and other related organizations.

Applications will be accepted from January 22 through May 23, 2025, with winners announced at DuPont's Medical Packaging Conference in Fall 2025. Eligible initiatives must be implemented within 18 months of application and demonstrate significant sustainability achievements.

The program aligns with DuPont's commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The company has already exceeded its climate targets, achieving a 58% reduction in Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from 2019, and a 39% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from 2020. DuPont's Tyvek® manufacturing facilities in Luxembourg and Richmond, Virginia, have achieved ISCC PLUS certification and source 100% renewable electricity.

DuPont (NYSE: DD) announced that its MOLYKOTE® HP-300 Grease has successfully met ISO 14687:2019 hydrogen purity standards through testing conducted with HyCentA Research GmbH. The grease underwent extensive testing at 700 bar pressure, demonstrating its ability to maintain hydrogen purity without significant contamination.

The achievement is particularly significant as hydrogen for transportation applications can be compromised by impurities as low as 4 parts per billion. MOLYKOTE® HP-300 proved effective for hydrogen-exposed components in seal and threaded connections, featuring resistance against hydrogen and chemicals, excellent low temperature performance (-40°C), and compatibility with most elastomers and plastics.

This development supports safe and reliable hydrogen storage, transportation, and use as a next-generation fuel, while helping advance cleaner energy solutions.
