Prysmian Group has announced the launch of the first optical cables certified green owing to its ECO CABLE label, the first proprietary green product label in the cable industry. The ECO CABLE label assignment is based on an automatic calculation system using recognized and measurable criteria in line with the main regulatory frameworks and requirements, with a very specific focus on cable products: carbon footprint, absence of substances of very high concern, recyclability or circularity, recycling input rate, environmental benefits and cable transmission efficiency, which for optical cables means an increase in fibre density.
