Case Studies
Superior Essex Communications: Sustainability
Over the past decade, we have dedicated ourselves to becoming an industry leader with our sustainability practices and sustainable products.
· We have achieved many industry firsts along our sustainability journey, such as our manufacturing plant in Hoisington, Kansas, working diligently to earn the rigorous Zero Waste to Landfill certification – and then maintaining it for five years running.
· We have become openly transparent with our products’ compositional chemistry and manufacturing practices, such as earning recognition as the first communications cable manufacturer to publish Environmental Product Declarations and Health Product Declarations, as well as the first and only one with Red List Free products, as disclosed in our Declare and Living Product Challenge labels.
· We have won numerous industry awards for our environmentally conscious products and practices, even attaining gold level in our sustainability assessment by the Telecommunications Industry Association, the highest level a company can achieve.
As one of the world’s largest communications cable manufacturers, we stand strong in our commitment to sustainability – because we firmly believe that the technology that interconnects the world should also respect it.
