CableLoop expands cable recycling across Spain with Sonepar

Nexans is expanding cable recycling service CableLoop across Spain in partnership with Sonepar. Following its initial deployment in France, the service is now being rolled out across 13 cities, making it easier for electricity professionals to valorize their cable waste directly through participating Sonepar branches.

The new deployment covers Pinto, Reus, Zaragoza, Burgos, Bilbao, Toledo, Malaga, Seville, Alicante, Paterna, Villagarcía de Arousa, Santiago and Vigo.

A simple and convenient way to valorize cable waste

CableLoop is Nexans’ cable recycling and buy-back service for electrical professionals. Available directly in participating Sonepar branches, it enables electricians to bring their cable offcuts from their worksites and sell them back in a simple and convenient way, during their usual visits to their local distributor.

Through CableLoop, professionals benefit from:

• Competitive, market-based buy-back prices
• Convenient and simple deposit, directly within participating Sonepar branches
• Contribution to sustainability, by recycling cable scrap in Spain to secure precious metals, necessary for low carbon cables production

The service gives professionals a practical way to turn their cable waste into value while contributing to the recovery of valuable resources.

Supporting a more circular electrical industry

Beyond simplifying cable waste management, CableLoop contributes to the development of a more circular approach to the electrical industry.

The collected cable waste is directed towards dedicated recycling and recovery channels in Spain, where valuable materials such as copper and aluminium can be recovered and given a new life as secondary raw materials.

Depending on the quality of the recovered materials, recycled metals can be reintegrated into different applications, including the production of recycled and lower-carbon cables.

By recovering materials already in circulation, CableLoop helps preserve valuable natural resources and supports Nexans’ ambition to contribute to more sustainable electrification.

Scaling up through collaboration

The expansion of CableLoop in Spain illustrates the value of collaboration between Nexans and Sonepar to develop practical circular solutions for electrical professionals.

By making the service available through its branch network, Sonepar provides professionals with a convenient local and circular solution to sell their cable offcuts. Nexans brings its expertise in cables, metal recovery and recycling to give these materials a new life.

With this new deployment across 13 cities, Nexans and Sonepar are taking another step towards making cable recycling more accessible across Spain and accelerating the transition towards a more circular electrical industry.

This collaboration reinforces the shared sustainability ambitions of Nexans and Sonepar by accelerating the recovery and recycling of valuable cable materials. By making circularity more accessible to electrical professionals, CableLoop contributes to a more sustainable electrical industry and supports our shared vision to electrify the future, sustainably.
