The CableLoop service is designed primarily for enterprises and companies looking to recycle significant and/or recurring quantities of cable waste or offcuts, while contributing to the circular economy.

In a world where resources are becoming scarce and the demand for electrification is rising, it’s urgent to act — to do more with less. Recycling is emerging as a key solution to anticipate future metal shortages while reducing our environmental footprint.

Nexans is committed to the circular economy with CableLoop, an innovative recycling service designed to secure the next generation of cables.

We buy back your used cables — from leftover electrical wires at the end of a project to obsolete industrial cables — and transform them into valuable resources that can be reused endlessly, for your enterprise and the cable industry.

Our ambition: to build a new recycling loop serving Nexans’ partners, suppliers, and customers.

Through this service, we offer a turnkey solution for cable waste recovery — from collection and transport to our recycling center, all the way to transforming waste into recycled raw materials.

We provide tailored logistics and a simplified, autonomous process thanks to a web platform available 24/7. You benefit from full transparency and traceability throughout the entire chain of operations. And we guarantee fair valuation based on the actual metal yield after shredding.

Aligned with Nexans’ global strategy, this service is sustainable at every level. With CableLoop, you combine environmental responsibility with economic performance.

Sorting cables before collection is highly recommended. An initial sort based on metal types allows us to provide an early estimate of the economic and environmental value of your cables. Plus, from a cost perspective, pre-sorting helps you benefit from reduced processing fees, making recycling even more advantageous.

We can recycle all categories of electrical cables, from the simplest to the most complex, whether copper or aluminum. We buy back your used or unused cables — from leftover electrical wires at the end of a project to obsolete industrial cables — and turn them into valuable resources.

Cable waste collected is processed at one of our recycling centers. The recovered materials are then sent to specialized channels, including Nexans, for the production of new cables.

Collected cable waste is processed at one of our Nexans or partner recycling centers. Using advanced technology for sorting, shredding, and recycling, we give metals and other materials a second life for use across various industries.

Our service is flexible and adjusts to your transport requirements. You have the freedom to decide whether you want us to handle the transportation of your cable waste or not.

Our service adapts to your needs. We can organize all or part of the logistics, and we can also provide the appropriate containers for storing and packaging your cables.

Once non ferrous metals have been separated from the cables and recovered, the corresponding value of the cable waste will be credited to your account. The full process (from cable collection to processing and recycling) can take up to a month.

Once the separation and recovery of non-ferrous metals from the cables is complete, the value of your cable waste is credited directly to your account. The time between collection, processing, and valuation is approximately one month.

With CableLoop, we guarantee full transparency and traceability throughout the recycling process. The buyback price is calculated using a clear, contractual formula to ensure optimal financial value. With CableLoop, recycle your cables at a fair price — and protect the environment!

A minimum quantity of 3 tons per pickup is recommended.

Our web platform allows you to manage and keep track of your requests. It's accessible at any time (24/24) and will provide you with full traceability on the full process.
