Can you make an electrical cable from 100% recycled raw materials without changing its quality?
That's the bet Laure Desseigne and the Nexans circular economy teams have won.
Making 1 km of cable emits as much as 2 to 3 people in a year, and France has 1.3 million km of lines, so the stakes are high. This pilot cable uses 100% recycled copper, instead of the usual 10%, with identical performance. And its carbon footprint now fits on a single page, in full transparency.
Essential by nature.
