In 2024 Prysmian has successfully supplied around 58,000 kilometers of cables incorporating bio-based materials with reduced carbon footprint as compared to cables made only with conventional oil-based polymers.
The bio-based materials, which are from renewable sources with negative carbon footprint value, are being adopted inside these cables. This means that Prysmian has supplied power grid cables that could cover the entire circumference of planet Earth (40,000 km) almost one and half times, enabling a significant reduction in the carbon footprint value.
