It’s Earth Day—a day to remind us that small changes can make a big impact. STERIS Associates in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania found a way to do their part and help keep the planet a little cleaner.
Our Sterility Maintenance bags and covers—made from DuPont’s flexible Tyvek® material—create a lot of scrap during production. Instead of sending that waste to landfills, the Sharon Hill facility partners with DuPont to recycle the untreated scraps. Those scraps are reprocessed into new rolls of the material that can be used to make more bags and covers.
In 2025, this effort kept about 400 pounds of material per week out of landfills and transformed it into something useful again.
