Hanwha Solutions' Wire and Cable (W&C) division is accelerating the commercialization of eco-friendly power cable materials made from recycled materials.
On August 11, Hanwha Solutions announced that it has completed customer verification for its high-density polyethylene (HDPE) power cable jacket material, 'CHBA-8241RC,' which incorporates 50% recycled plastic (PCR), and is now moving forward with full-scale commercialization.
CHBA-8241RC is an eco-friendly composite material developed in-house by Hanwha Solutions, which reduces carbon emissions by approximately 34% per kilogram compared to existing products. Additionally, it maintains electrical properties equivalent to traditional products, allowing for the production of eco-friendly power cables without compromising performance.
After developing and pilot-producing CHBA-8241RC in 2025, Hanwha Solutions completed production testing and quality verification with cable manufacturers in the first half of this year. This positions the company to contribute to the establishment of low-carbon power networks with a comprehensive portfolio that includes ultra-high voltage insulation materials and eco-friendly cable sheathing.
Carlo Scarlata, head of Hanwha Solutions' W&C division, stated, "CHBA-8241RC is a product that has proven its quality and marketability through rigorous customer verification. We aim to actively support our customers' sustainable power cable production with recycled material-based eco-friendly cable solutions and establish ourselves as a trusted material partner in the global power infrastructure market."
Meanwhile, Hanwha Solutions' Wire and Cable division is expanding its influence on the global stage, participating in the world's largest wire and cable exhibition, 'WIRE 2026,' held in Düsseldorf, Germany, in April.
