Third Party-Validated Water Solutions Sustainability
Navigator Compares Technology Scenarios for Carbon Emissions, Waste
& Wastewater Generated, Chemical and Land Requirements
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont today introduced the
Water Solutions Sustainability Navigator, the first digital tool
designed to help users estimate key sustainability indicators when
using various water treatment technologies—whether from DuPont or
from other manufacturers.
The Water Solutions Sustainability Navigator enables users to
compare how different potential water treatment scenarios impact
sustainability indicators, including carbon emissions, chemicals
used, wastewater produced, solid waste generated and footprint
needed—with all calculations and indicators validated by a
third-party verification performed by LRQA, a global assurance
provider.
Carbon emission calculations are in conformance with ISO
14020:2001 and 14021:2016, and chemical, footprint, wastewater and
solid waste calculations are in conformance with ISO 14020:2023 and
ISO 14021:2016 + A1: 2021.
"While there are many factors that can influence the design and
selection of water treatment technologies, the Water Solutions
Sustainability Navigator will help users better understand the
interconnection of sustainability-driven choices and the cost of
operations," said Jeroen Bloemhard,
Vice President and General Manager, DuPont Water Solutions. "By
uncovering solutions that require fewer chemicals, less energy or a
smaller land footprint, our customers are not only reducing their
impact on the planet, but also driving down the total cost of
water."
Currently, the tool allows users to input four different water
treatment technologies—reverse osmosis (RO), ultrafiltration (UF),
ion exchange resins (IER) and membrane bioreactors (MBR) —used
alone or in combination.
"By empowering customers to compare up to five different and
independently verified scenarios, they have better insight into the
total value and long-term savings derived through the selection of
sustainability-advantaged water treatment technologies," said
Veronica Garcia Molina, Global
Marketing Leader, Industrial Water & Energy at DuPont Water
Solutions. "Our customers are already beginning to harness the
power of the Water Solutions Sustainability Navigator to help them
make decisions that positively impact both their operations and
their sustainability goals."
Interested users can request access by contacting their DuPont
representative. DuPont Water Solutions will host a webinar on
October 17 to share a live, hands-on
demonstration of the Sustainability Navigator. Registration is free
and open to the public at

these words.
Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying

assumptions, many of which that are beyond DuPont's control, that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those

On May 22, 2024, DuPont announced
a plan to separate the company into three distinct, publicly traded
companies. Under the plan, DuPont would execute the proposed
separations of its Electronics and Water businesses in a tax-free
manner to its shareholders leaving DuPont to continue as a
diversified industrial company following completion of the
separations. DuPont expects to complete the separations
within 18 to 24 months of the announcement date. The separation
transactions will not require a shareholder vote and are subject to
satisfaction of customary conditions, including final approval by
DuPont's Board of Directors, receipt of tax opinion from counsel,
the filing and effectiveness of Form 10 registration statements
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable
regulatory approvals and satisfactory completion of financing.
See DuPont's most recent annual
report and subsequent current and periodic reports filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for further description of
risk factors that could impact the expectations or estimates
implied by the Company's forward-looking statements, including (i)
the ability to effect the separation transactions described above,
and meet expectations regarding the timing, completion, accounting
and tax treatments, and intended benefits related to the
separation transactions and other portfolio changes; (ii) risks and
costs related to indemnification of legacy liabilities; (iii) risks
and uncertainties related to operational and supply chain impacts
or disruptions, including ability to offset increased costs, obtain
raw materials, and meet customer needs, and (iv) other risks to
DuPont's business and operations. Unlisted factors may also present
significant additional obstacles to the realization of
forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in
results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements could include, among other things, business or supply
chain disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal
liability to third parties, loss of key customers, reputational
harm and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on DuPont's consolidated financial condition, results of
operations, credit rating or liquidity. You should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date they are made. DuPont assumes no obligation to publicly
provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future developments or
otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise
required by securities and other applicable laws.
