Materials science innovator DuPont has flipped the switch to 100 percent renewable electricity for its Tedlar polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) films manufacturing operations, marking a major step in the company’s push toward decarbonization.
The milestone is achieved through the purchase of U.S.-sourced Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), matching approximately 42,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity consumption annually with renewable power. The move significantly reduces Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions tied to grid electricity use and advances DuPont’s 2030 Sustainability Goals — including its ambition to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
“Fully integrating renewable electricity across our Tedlar® manufacturing footprint reflects how we are advancing sustainability across our operations,” said Tucker Norton, Vice President and General Manager, DuPont Printing & Films. “This achievement supports our decarbonization strategy while ensuring we continue to deliver the high-performance Tedlar films our customers depend on.”
Tedlar PVF films — non-PFAS materials made without the use of PFAS — are manufactured exclusively in the United States. The high-performance films are widely used in aerospace, building and construction, outdoor graphics and signage, and industrial applications, where durability and longevity help extend product life cycles and reduce maintenance demands.
By powering Tedlar production with renewable electricity, DuPont strengthens the environmental profile of one of its flagship materials while accelerating broader climate action across its operations.
The company says it continues to deploy a range of decarbonization initiatives globally, including energy efficiency upgrades, on-site renewable generation where feasible, and strategic renewable electricity procurement — reinforcing its commitment to cutting emissions and expanding renewable energy use across its portfolio.
