Aluminum alloy cable life cycle study report

The world’s third-largest cable manufacturer, American General Cable, cooperated with the Shanghai Cable Research Institute and recently launched China’s first aluminum alloy cable life cycle research report. The report is devoted to analyzing and interpreting the application value of aluminum alloy conductor cables from a professional point of view, and helping companies identify and improve environmental performance indicators at all stages of the product life cycle. It is reported that the research process of the entire evaluation report lasted nearly two years. U.S. General Cable provided technical data and professional resources during this period, and the final results are expected to be released by the end of this year.

The report aims to identify environmental factors and potential factors in the life cycle of the product throughout the life cycle of raw materials, production, use, end-of-life treatment, recycling, and final disposal, through objectives and scope determination, inventory analysis, and impact assessment. Environmental impacts, including resource use, human health, and ecological consequences. As a result, the report will specifically announce the impact of aluminum alloy cables on the environment throughout the life cycle, and provide a theoretical basis for environmental improvement. At the same time, the report also provides scientific reference for aluminum alloy cable manufacturers, cable upstream raw material manufacturers, users, governments and related industry organizations.

Tan Bingwen, President of U.S. General Cable (China), said: "At present, China has developed into the world's largest wire and cable market. However, the relevant scientific research and evaluation system is still far from perfect. U.S. General Cable has extensive experience in this area. With professional knowledge, we hope to use global resources to promote domestic research in related fields and more fully demonstrate the application value of aluminum alloy conductor cables."

The U.S. General Cable Corporation has always upheld the core values ​​of sustainable development, health and safety, corporate citizenship, and innovation. In order to reduce or completely eliminate harmful substances in products, the company continues to increase R&D and innovation efforts, and is committed to producing products that are more environmentally friendly and more sustainable, while at the same time providing a matching integrated cable solution for the renewable energy market.
