It takes a lot to bring electricity to people's homes, and SRP is working with university researchers to devise a new way to recycle the plastic sheaths that cover the dense cables that run underground for the power company.
It takes a lot to bring electricity into people's home everyday, and that can mean a lot of waste at the landfill.
"Some of the cable might look new, if you look at it, but it’s degraded over time, so it needs to be replaced," said SRP Sustainable Solutions Manager Sam Cutruzzula. Like copper, aluminum will go through the same process. The metals can be sold or reused, but the plastic casings end up in another bin. However, thanks to a $88,000 research grant to the University of Arizona, the plastic casings are now being recycled and reused in concrete, for the first time.
