Circular Economy
At Southwire, we recognize the advantages of materials management and a lower environmental footprint for company success. To help lower our footprint, we incorporate recycled materials into our product design, manufacturing and packaging operations. In addition, we focus on increasing our recycling efforts and expanding material reuse strategies at the end-of-life in line with circular economy principles.Our wire and cable packaging team frequently includes Southwire’s five core sustainability tenets in the design and improvement of our products. In 2021, they teamed up with a local recycling company to transform over three million pounds of scrap plastic from wire insulating compound into raw materials for repurposed products.
