DuPont Powers US Healthcare Manufacturing with Renewables

All of DuPont's US healthcare manufacturing facilities are now powered by 100% renewable electricity.

These 12 plants now join its European sites, which achieved the goal in May 2025. 

DuPont says it has cut its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 76% since 2019.

Scope 3 emissions have fallen by 66% compared to 2020 and the company says it is on track to reach net zero by 2050.

"Achieving 100% renewable electricity at our US-based DuPont healthcare manufacturing facilities further contributes to our decarbonisation strategy and RE100 commitment, with more than half of our total DuPont global electricity already sourced from renewables," says Scott Collick, Chief Sustainability Officer and VP of Sustainability and Regulatory Compliance at DuPont.

US healthcare sites

Half of DuPont's global electricity comes from renewable sources. 

The company procured approximately 30GWh of electricity each year for the US manufacturing sites, reducing Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from grid use.

"Powering these additional US healthcare manufacturing facilities with renewable electricity is a meaningful step in advancing our sustainability commitments while enabling a more sustainable healthcare supply chain for the benefit of both our customers and patients," says Dean Childers, Vice President and General Manager, DuPont Healthcare Solutions.

Progress towards 2035 targets

This achievement puts DuPont at around two thirds renewable electricity globally in 2026. 

The company is using RECs alongside Power Purchase Agreements and on-site renewable generation.

In 2025, DuPont achieved 100% renewable electricity across its EU operations through a combination of RECs and on site solar installations.

By 2035, DuPont aims to minimise, eliminate or avoid substances of concern in products where safer alternatives exist.

Every DuPont facility will implement a reduce, reuse, repurpose and recycle programme to achieve a 10% reduction in total waste intensity.

Tedlar operations

In February, DuPont announced that its Tedlar polyvinyl fluoride film manufacturing operations were also powered by 100% renewable electricity through RECs.

In total, approximately 42GWh of electricity consumption was matched annually with RECs for its manufacturing facilities in Buffalo, Louisville and Fayetteville.

"Fully integrating renewable electricity across our Tedlar manufacturing footprint reflects how we are advancing sustainability across our operations," says Tucker Norton, Vice President and General Manager of DuPont Printing & Films.

"This achievement supports our decarbonisation strategy while ensuring we continue to deliver the high-performance Tedlar films our customers depend on."
