The Lifecycle Based Solutions initiative saw DuPont partner Waste Management to create a convenient recycling kit and programme.
Waste Management now recycles banners and reprocesses them into resin—which in turn is re-purposed for a number of uses.
Waste Management also gathers data relating to the Tyvek recycling scheme by scanning a barcode on the recycling kit envelope. The material owner can then receive a certificate that details how much Tyvek is recycled.
Print facilities and clients using Tyvek can sign up at recycletyvek.com to receive a recycling kit, which includes an expandable Tyvek envelope capable of holding 250sq ft of Tyvek material.
