DuPont helps retailers recycle signage

DuPont has introduced a new scheme that is making it easier for retailers to recycle entire Tyvek and Tyvek Vivia displays.

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.
