Nexans to Incorporate 10% Recycled Aluminum in Low-Voltage Cables
Nexans is expanding its low-carbon product line by including 10% recycled aluminum in its low-voltage cables manufactured in Jeumont, France, starting in 2025. This initiative aims to reduce the carbon footprint for both the company and its customers.
Electrification pioneer Nexans is enhancing its low-carbon product offerings by integrating 10% recycled aluminum content into its low-voltage cables. Beginning in 2025, cables produced at the Jeumont plant in northern France will feature this recycled content, contributing to reduced carbon footprints for both Nexans and its customers.
The new cables are manufactured using low-carbon aluminum derived from a decarbonized energy mix, with 10% of the aluminum sourced from recycled materials. This move represents a significant step in Nexans' circularity strategy, designed to minimize environmental impacts throughout the value chain.
As demand for electrification grows, the recycling of raw materials becomes increasingly critical. Nexans highlights that incorporating recycled aluminum can help alleviate potential supply pressures for the electrical industry.
All low-voltage cables produced at the Jeumont facility, intended for distribution networks and industrial applications including photovoltaic systems, will now include this feature.
In parallel, Nexans is investing in modernizing its Bourg-en-Bresse plant in France to produce more environmentally friendly medium-voltage cables.
