In Iowa, renewable polyester maker DuPont Industrial Biosciences has partnered with bluesign, a Swedish company with stream management technology for ensuring sustainability in the textile industry.

To qualify, DuPont completed a company assessment and roadmap meeting to demonstrate it deserved the bluesign certification. Sorona, DuPont’s polyester,  is 37% renewable and uses 30% less energy to produce than nylon 6.

Bluesign partners apply the blusign system in their business through continuous improvement of environmental performance.

“This recognition from bluesign as a verifier and supporting partner of the responsible industry underscores the commitment of Sorona brand to embracing sustainability and minimizing environmental impact in the long term,” says Rene Molina, global product manager for DuPont Industrial Biosciences. “With Sorona polymer, we’re not only providing customers with an eco-efficient, practical materials solution, but also laying the groundwork for a sustainable textile future – and this certification truly reinforces our mission.”
