Eco-Friendly Innovation Pioneering The Use of 100% Recycled Copper
Green Connect showcases Prysmian's commitment to the planet through the use of 100% recycled copper and other recycled materials embracing an eco-friendly approach to data communication solutions. The product's design prioritizes responsible material usage without compromising performance, emphasizing a circular economy. Prysmian's streamlined and developed eco-efficient production processes contributes towards its dedication to environmental responsibility.
Green Connect, a complementary addition to the existing Draka UC range, introduces environmentally friendly alternatives of both standard copper and fiber data communication cables. For instance, the CAT.7 S/FTP Outdoor cable from the UC 900 Copper range achieves a remarkable 50% reduction in carbon footprint on metal, thanks to the use of recycled copper material. The overall manufacturing process in copper cable production sees a 40% reduction in carbon footprint, encompassing the usage of recycled materials in cable jacketing and sustainable manufacturing processes. This new product line is the result of the strong focus of Prysmian on circular economy and innovation, and the increase of recycled content in the company’s products is one of the targets which are also reported in the 2023-2025 Sustainability scorecard. This KPI is also included in Prysmian’s remuneration plan to strengthen the commitment of management and employees towards the objective of minimizing the environmental impact of our cables.
