  • OEC is Europe’s first and only cable recovery and recycling company.

  • Under the agreement, OEC will acquire from Sparkle over 22,000 km of telegraph, coaxial, and fiber optic subsea cables laid in the Mediterranean.

  • This has the potential to save more than 35,000 tons of CO2e through secondary material manufacturing reuse.

  • OEC will then return the materials with renewed value to industrial use as secondary raw materials.
