Turning Waste into Treasure: World's First 'Ocean Plastic Recycled Cable' Achieves Mass Production, Making Sustainability a Key Bidding Chip

In response to increasingly stringent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements, a green revolution in cable materials has arrived. DSM Engineering Materials from the Netherlands, in collaboration with a major Asian cable manufacturer, has successfully achieved mass production of the world's first cable using recycled marine plastic waste (such as discarded fishing nets) as raw material for the cable jacket. Through a special chemical modification process, the technology ensures that the material meets industrial standards for durability and flame retardancy. The first batch of products has been used for internal connection lines in an offshore wind farm in Northern Europe. Industry insiders point out that such "green cables" not only reduce plastic pollution and consumption of new materials but have also become a mandatory or high-scoring ESG criterion in bidding for international projects, especially in the EU and North American markets, reshaping global procurement standards.
