Sparkle sells over 22,000 km of disused submarine cables to Oceanic Environmental Cables

Sparkle sold to Oceanic Environmental Cables (OEC) more than 22,000 kilometres of telegraph, coaxial and fibre optic submarine cables laid in the Mediterranean that are no longer in use.

OEC will remove these cables and, once on land, disassemble them into their different components (fibre optic, copper, steel, aluminium, HDPE, and LDPE) until they are transformed into high-quality regranulates.

Materials with industrial use value will be sold as secondary raw materials. OEC estimated a saving of more than 35,000 tonnes of CO2e by replacing the production of these materials.
