Turkish Company Borsan Pioneers Eco-Friendly Cable Materials

A Turkish company named Borsan is making waves in the industry with its innovative approach to cable materials. The company, led by Ekrem Altan, is specialised in producing environmentally friendly materials aimed at reducing carbon emissions and decreasing dependence on imported raw materials.

Borsan's latest innovation involves the use of boron, a mineral known for its flame-retardant properties, in insulation materials. This addition not only improves the flame-resistant properties but also aligns with the principles of the European Green Deal, particularly the circular economy and sustainable production.

The company's focus on sustainability is evident in its R&D projects. Borsan prioritises the use of recyclable, domestic raw materials. This includes hemp fibers, which are being processed and applied in sheathing and insulation, and seashell and snail shell powders, previously considered industrial waste, now finding a new purpose in outer cable coverings.

Borsan's commitment to sustainability extends to its products' lifecycle. The company is developing recycled polymers, halogen-free flame-retardant compounds, and biodegradable cable materials. This approach not only increases safety but also reduces external dependency.

One of Borsan's most significant innovations is the boron-added aluminum solar cable. This cable not only extends the life of solar systems but also makes them more eco-friendly, economical, and accessible.

Altan emphasises the durability and environmental friendliness of Borsan's materials. The solutions developed by Borsan are compatible with sustainability goals and offer a new vision for Turkey in the field of cable materials. With Borsan's innovative approach, the future of cable materials in Turkey looks promisingly green.
