DuPont Opens Recycled Safety Glass Interlayers Facility in Growing Czech Republic

DuPont opened a new production facility today to support growth in Central and Eastern Europe for its DuPont™

“This investment demonstrates DuPont’s focus on Central and Eastern Europe and supports our commitment to deliver science-based innovations and sustainable solutions for our customers,” said

DuPont™ Butacite® interlayers are used to protect solar cells in photovoltaic arrays and in the production of laminated glass structures for automotive and architectural applications such as windshields and safety glass. DuPont offers a broad portfolio of interlayer solutions including Butacite® and SentryGlas® with global production capabilities in the Czech Republic, Germany, Korea and the United States.

“This new production facility for Butacite® G contributes to the economic development of the area and its central location will enable efficient distribution of product throughout Europe,” said Sona Krausova – DuPont country leader in the Czech Republic.

DuPont – one of the first companies to publicly establish environmental goals 20 years ago – has broadened its sustainability commitments beyond internal footprint reduction to include market-driven targets for both revenue and research and development investment. The goals are tied directly to business growth, specifically to the development of safer and environmentally improved new products for key global markets.
