Facing EU CBAM and brand ESG mandates, the cable industry is accelerating its green transition. By 2026, leading OEMs will mandate carbon footprint reporting (ISO 14067) and a >50% adoption rate for LSZH and recycled copper in power cords. Factories equipped with energy monitoring systems (from wire drawing to final assembly) and third-party verified environmental product declarations (EPDs) will be prioritized in global supply chains. Green manufacturing is no longer a differentiator but a baseline requirement.
