Corian® Design Sustainability Commitment

When you choose Corian® Solid Surface, you choose a surfacing product which is both beautiful to behold and harmonious with the health of humans and the environment.

Grounded in science, at DuPont and Corian® Design, we’re working alongside those who also seek a sustainable tomorrow to help people thrive at home and in their communities for years to come.

Interior design, architecture, furnishing companies and professionals play a key role in advancing Circular Economy. We enable them to better achieve the ultimate goal, which is to retain the inherent value of products, by utilising a product for as long as possible and within the shorter loops of material circulation – in essence a focus on reuse, repair, upgrade and refurbishment.

• Corian® Solid Surface is a durable product, as it is designed to last longer and can be easily repaired if needed, therefore holding the greatest potential for resource savings by maintaining operational utility longer and saving money on replacement purchases.

• Corian® Solid Surface has a non-porous surface that prevents dirt and stains from penetrating the material, hence marks and stains stay on the surface and can easily be removed. By enabling seamless integration of multiple elements, its surface continuity simplifies cleaning, sanitising and routine maintenance. Therefore, by limiting the overuse of biocides, disinfectants, or cleaning detergents, it has minimum impact on human health and the environment.
