Of this percentage, 9.8% involves the reuse of wooden drums while 90.2% are drums of other material, such as plastic, plastic for fibre and others. Prysmian has launched "Drum Tracking", an initiative for the geo-localisation of drums that is able to significantly increase the quantities of reused drums. The solution was developed with leading suppliers in the field of geo-tracking and "IoT ready" solutions. Furthermore, the Group has entered into agreements in various countries to guarantee a flow of "Reverse Logistics" in which the return of the drums is guaranteed. For example, in the Czech Republic and in Hungary Prysmian has introduced in its plants the possibility of using the German KabelTrommel Gmbh system, thus minimising the handling and abandonment of drums from Germany.
