DuPont's Cyrel Flexographic Solutions has launched two new plates, Cyrel EASY ESXR and Cyrel EASY FAST EFXR, extending its Cyrel ReNew portfolio to solvent and thermal platemaking workflows. The plates use a photopolymer containing more than 50% ISCC PLUS-certified bio-circular raw material via a mass-balance approach. The products were unveiled on the opening day of LOUPE Americas 2026 in Chicago.
Why this mattersGives label and packaging converters a lower-carbon platemaking option without requiring new equipment, broadening adoption of bio-circular inputs in flexo printing.
- Two new plates launched: Cyrel EASY ESXR (solvent) and Cyrel EASY FAST EFXR (thermal)
- Announced on opening day of LOUPE Americas 2026 in Chicago
- Photopolymer contains more than 50% ISCC PLUS-certified bio-circular raw material
- EFXR plates process in under one hour with no drying step on the Cyrel FAST thermal system
- Cyrel ReNew previously won the Sustainability Excellence Award at FTA FORUM INFOFLEX 2026
DuPont has launched Tyvek with Renewable Attribution for consumer and industrial applications, extending its bio-circular material line to active packaging, tags and labels, and industrial packaging such as dunnage and industrial bags. The product uses ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance accounting to attribute renewable feedstock to standard HDPE-based Tyvek, offered at attribution levels from 30% to 100%, with no reformulation or requalification required by customers.
Why this mattersA drop-in renewable-attributed material lets packaging converters cut reported Scope 3 emissions without redesign, a template other materials suppliers may follow.
- Tyvek with Renewable Attribution launched globally on 15 September 2026 for consumer and industrial applications
- Renewable attribution levels range from 30% to 100%, based on ISCC PLUS mass balance certification
- At 30% attribution, DuPont cites an approximately 30% carbon footprint reduction versus standard Tyvek, per ISO-compliant LCA data
- Bio-circular feedstocks derive from second-generation biomass, including waste and residues not competing with food production
- DuPont holds ISCC PLUS certification at its Luxembourg and Richmond, Virginia manufacturing sites
- Product is described as a drop-in solution requiring no requalification for existing Tyvek users
- Target applications specified as active packaging, labels and industrial bags.
- DuPont positions Tyvek with Renewable Attribution for packaging, tags, labels and industrial uses
- The material matches conventional Tyvek specifications, allowing adoption without redesign or requalification
- The launch supports DuPont's 2035 Sustainability Goals on circularity and Scope 3 emissions
