"We believe that nanofiber science that results in developments such as HMT will play a key role in bridging performance gaps of traditional materials, and will lead to advances such as improved air quality, lower energy costs and extended filter life. There are many significant applications we are exploring for this exciting new innovation."
"To be recognized by an international organization for the work we have done on Sorona is fantastic," said Peter Hemken, vice president and general manager - DuPont Bio-Based Materials.
The awards, which are co-sponsored by the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA) and Nonwovens Industry magazine, honor new product and technical developments since IDEA04 in five categories: Roll Goods, Short-Life End Product, Long-Life End Product, Raw Materials and Machinery/Equipment. Winners were determined by a vote of industry members.
DuPont - one of the first companies to publicly establish environmental goals 16 years ago - has broadened its sustainability commitments beyond internal footprint reduction to include market-driven targets for both revenue and research and development investment like Hybrid Membrane Technology and DuPont Sorona. The goals are tied directly to business growth, specifically to the development of safer and environmentally improved new products for key global markets
