Hanwha Solutions Wire & Cable Division announced that it has completed customer validation of CHBA-8241RC, an eco-friendly power cable jacket compound containing recycled content, and is moving forward with full-scale commercialization.
Hanwha Solutions’ CHBA-8241RC recycled polyethylene cable jacket compound reduces carbon emissions by approximately 34% compared with conventional material
CHBA-8241RC is a high-density polyethylene-based compound containing 50% post-consumer recycled plastic content. Developed using Hanwha Solutions’ proprietary technology, the product reduces carbon emissions by approximately 34% compared with conventional alternatives while maintaining equivalent performance characteristics, enabling the production of sustainable power cables without compromising quality or reliability.
Following product development and pilot production in 2025, Hanwha Solutions completed manufacturing trials and quality validation with cable manufacturers during the first half of this year. With the successful commercialization of CHBA-8241RC, the company now offers a comprehensive portfolio ranging from extra-high-voltage insulation materials to sustainable cable jacket compounds, supporting the development of lower-carbon power infrastructure.
“CHBA-8241RC has demonstrated both its quality and market potential through rigorous customer validation,” said Carlo Scarlata, CEO of Hanwha Solutions Wire & Cable Division. “Through recycled-content cable materials, we will actively support our customers’ efforts to manufacture more sustainable power cables and further strengthen our position as a trusted materials partner in the global power infrastructure market.”
The new eco-friendly cable jacket compound reflects Hanwha Solutions’ extensive experience in developing and commercializing recycled plastic solutions. The company has earned internationally recognized sustainability certifications, including the Global Recycled Standard and ISCC PLUS, for its recycled polyethylene (rPE) derived from post-consumer plastic waste.
Through strategic partnerships with customers including LG Display and Kolmar Korea Holdings, Hanwha Solutions has expanded the adoption of rPE across multiple industries, including electronics packaging, cosmetic containers, and industrial packaging applications.
