DuPont announces that Artistri Digital Printing Solutions are produced using 100% renewable electricity through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) supporting DuPont’s Fort Madison, Iowa manufacturing site.

This milestone reflects the continued commitment of DuPont to advancing renewable energy adoption across its operations and supports the company’s Sustainability Goals, ambition to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and commitment to RE100, according to a press release. The renewable electricity claim is supported by the procurement of U.S.-sourced RECs, representing electricity generated from renewable resources. Switching to 100% renewable electricity for Artistri manufacturing results in a 61% reduction in Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions related to grid electricity versus 2019 baseline.

The renewable electricity claim applies to 2025 reporting year and is supported by RECs procured in accordance with market-based Scope 2 accounting rules, which permit post-year procurement, the press release shares.

“Transitioning our Artistri manufacturing operations to 100% renewable electricity underscores our commitment to operational sustainability while continuing to deliver high performance ink solutions our customers rely on,” said Rob Simpson, general manager, DuPont Artistri Digital Printing Solutions, in a press statement. “This achievement is an important step in advancing our decarbonization strategy.”

Artistri solutions are used in a broad range of digital printing applications, including textiles, packaging, commercial and industrial printing, where performance, efficiency, and reliability are critical. Powering production with renewable electricity supports customers’ sustainability objectives by reducing the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing their products.

DuPont continues to implement a portfolio of decarbonization initiatives across its global operations, including energy efficiency improvements, on-site renewable energy generation where feasible, and strategic renewable electricity procurement. The company remains committed to lowering greenhouse gas emissions, increasing renewable energy use, and supporting customers in meeting their own sustainability goals.
