DuPont™ Tyvek® is proud to offer a garment recycling program that helps our customers within the continental United States manage used Tyvek® and IsoClean® protective apparel and reduce waste. The program includes setup, collection, transportation, storage and recycling of garments.

 

 

Why recycle?

The Tyvek® protective apparel recycling program offers the chance to divert garments away from landfills and give them a second life in products like containers, lumber pallets and park benches.

Predicted savings

For every case of 25 Tyvek® coveralls that is recycled, 10 lbs. of Tyvek® are diverted from the waste stream and given a second life in products like pallets and park benches. DuPont™ offers this service for free to qualifying customers. On an annualized usage basis, the savings really add up.
