DuPont Market-Facing “Scorecard”
Downstream Assessment Criteria
1. Greenhouse gas emissions
2. Energy consumption
3. Impact on air and water pollution
4. Material consumption & recycled content
5. Non-depletable resources inherent in our
product and/or enabled in the value chain
6. Waste generation
7. Ease of disposal; hazardous waste content;
recyclability and biodegradability
8. Impact on water quality or consumption
9. Toxicological risk to human health
10. Cradle-to-Gate Product Footprint – Material
and energy use, emissions and waste
associated with product manufacture and
upstream processes.

Example: Reducing our Internal Footprint
Water Reductions
The use of effluent treatment using microfiltration technology represents a
reduction of 60% in underground water use.
This represents a savings of 40,000 m3 (10 million gallons) per year.

Example of Market Facing Goals
New Product Offerings
Biomax® TPS
High-amyloseThermoplastic Starch (TPS) for thermoformed sheets and
injection molded parts and packaging
• Completely degrades on contact with moisture (water degradable, soil
degradable, home compostable, industrial compostable)
• Excellent film-forming properties
• Antistatic
• Grease-resistant
• Tailorable solubility
Sustainable Qualifications
• 10-23% less GHG’s than typical petrochemical-based
options (2004, RMIT Univ.) *
• 90% renewably sourced content by weight
• Meets U.S. and EU compostability requirement
(including home, soil, and marine)
• The production of Biomax® TPS results in a 54%
savings in non-renewable energy on a cradle to grave
comparison

DuPont’s Sustainability
Commitment
“Many companies say that what’s
good for the environment can also
be good for business.
At DuPont we have a slightly
different view – what’s good for
business must also be good for the
environment and for people
everywhere in the world.”
