HUBER+SUHNER has enhanced sustainability in its fiber optic products by optimizing resource use and processes. The company removed over 743,000 single-use plastic bags, replaced 1.5 million twist cable ties, and converted 35,500 blister packages to 100% recycled PET.

This initiative spans eleven key product families and has led to measurable reductions in carbon footprint, contributing to waste and logistical efficiencies in the data center fiber connectivity market. Sustainable packaging measures include using FSC-certified, 100% recyclable paper and recycled PET for various fiber modules, improving product durability and reducing emissions.

A verified lifecycle analysis shows a 50% reduction in packaging CO2 emissions compared to traditional materials. Following positive customer feedback in 2025, HUBER+SUHNER plans to expand the initiative to 17 product families.
