Solving a Reel environmental issue Ventcroft is believed to be the first cable manufacturing company to offer a scheme to collect and reuse empty standard 100m cable reels. Each year Ventcroft uses over 250,000 plastic reels to supply fire performance cable to users. Now both installers who use the cable, and wholesalers who distribute the cable, can take advantage of Ventcroft’s scheme which will not only help the environment, but could also save money. Plastic cable reels overcome many customer complaints about the difficulty of disposing of cardboard and plywood reels, but recycling and reusing the reels provides the greatest environmental benefit. Plastic reels are do not suffer from adverse weather and are moisture resistant. Over 95% of plastic reels can be reused and all can be recycled.
