The cable sector is critical to connecting control systems, power systems, equipment and infrastructure, virtually every aspect of modern life as we know it. It’s also a sector badly in need of innovation and an area where Canadian entrepreneur Jean-Sébastien Pelland has made his mark.

One of his priorities was to tackle long-standing concerns that thousands of kilometers of sub-standard or non-compliant cable were circulating in the wider marketplace, an issue raised by the U.K. Health & Safety Executive over a decade ago. According to their estimates, around 5% of cables were affected, potentially putting critical infrastructure, equipment and services at risk of premature failure, unplanned maintenance, short circuit, or worse.

Earlier this year, Pelland announced the opening of a large cable recycling plant to process end-of-life products, recycling and reusing the copper, aluminum and other materials in other products. Cable insulation material, for example, is used in playground matting, while paper, plastics and wood are all chipped, bailed, crushed or reused.

He sees sustainable operations as being about far more than just the environment. “It’s about looking after our people and their wellbeing, being active and supporting the communities we operate in, and ensuring both in practice and in governance we are an ethical and responsible business,” he says. Europe-wide, the eMobility and the EV charging network infrastructure is underpinned by cables, all of which are supplied by Eland Cables. The company is also working on battery storage energy solutions projects for grid balancing to help regulate flow, avoid blackouts, and ensure power to connect and transmit.
