6 Enabling the Digital and Energy transition flexible cables with extreme fibre counts (up to 6912 fibres). Sirocco Extreme microduct products feature industry first bend insensitive 180µm fibre for sustainable telco networks with product circularity. Innovation is key here to develop future-proof solutions that also address cost, time, and labour bottlenecks. You often say you see sustainability as an R&D opportunity. Can you give us some examples? Indeed, over the past 3 years, we have a forged an innovation strategy that is strongly linked to sustainability. The culmination of a deep thought process here is our new ‘Design for Sustainability’ framework. It is based on six measurable and recognized sustainability criteria -- carbon footprint, substances of hazardous concern, recyclability, recycling input, product environmental benefits DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM PRYSMIAN GROUP IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EXELON CORPORATIONWINS PRESTIGIOUS 2022 EDISON BEST NEW PRODUCT AWARD FOR INNOVATIVE E3X® ROBOT SYSTEM Prysmian's commitment to developing new technologies to support the modernization of the energy grid and that energy transition has been awarded at the 2022 Edison Awards Gala in Fort Myers, Florida on April 21, 2022. This innovative grid-enhancing robotic technology applies heat-dissipating E3X® coating to existing power lines to reduce power grid congestion. It creates a breakthrough grid-enhancing solution without the need to build new transmission lines, unlocking capacity by 15-25 percent for utilities. The revolutionary systemwas selected for its advanced electronics, imaging capabilities and artificial intelligence, which can withstand extreme voltages, operate in severe weather conditions, and navigate slope angles. It can also be deployed without deenergizing that portion of the power grid, and it’s the only technology to enhance the capacity of the existing conductor. Named after inventor Thomas Edison, the Edison Awards have been recognizing and honoring the best in innovation and innovators across the globe since 1987. Like the famous inventor, the awards personify the persistence, excellence and human drive for innovation, creativity and ingenuity.
