All plug-type attenuator solutions found in key HUBER+SUHNER product families will now be packaged in 100 per cent recyclable, FSC-certified paper in order to ensure greater sustainability in our product solutions.
Building off the announcement earlier this year to switch to paper packaging for indoor fibre optic cable assemblies, the decision to expand this project to cover plug-type attenuators will replace over 40,000 plastic bags this year alone, with potential reductions of more than 1 million in the coming years.
“This expansion represents another step in our company-wide journey to drive sustainability in our operations and products,” said HUBER+SUHNER Head of Global Sustainability Lana Ollier. “In an industry still reliant on single-use plastic, our initiatives reflect our overall commitment to sustainability to help fulfil our customers’ growing demand for sustainable solutions.”
The recyclable paper packaging applies to the HUBER+SUHNER LC, SC, FC, ST and MU families. These high-performance fibre optic attenuators are designed for durability and reliability in various demanding applications, from industrial to military environments.
By shifting from plastic bags to recyclable materials, HUBER+SUHNER reinforces its commitment to minimising environmental impact, and reducing both waste and packaging emissions. This addition builds upon the company’s previously launched environmental-friendly packaging for indoor fibre optic cable assemblies, in line with its continuous efforts to meet customer demand for greener solutions.
Going forward, HUBER+SUHNER will also see additional product lines, including indoor fibre optic cable systems and harsh environment fibre optic cable assemblies. Details on these changes will be announced in due course.
