Polycab Achieves GreenPro Certification for Sustainable Wiring
Polycab, a company that makes wires and cables, has received a special certification called GreenPro.
This certification shows that their products are good for the environment and safe to use.
The company is investing in making better products and following strict quality checks.
They make different types of wires that are flame-retardant and produce less smoke and toxins in case of a fire.
Polycab is also working on using recycled materials and reducing waste.
This is important because many fires and property damages happen due to electrical faults.
By getting this certification, Polycab is helping builders and homeowners choose wiring that is safe, environmentally friendly, and meets the technical needs of modern homes.
Polycab received GreenPro certification for its range of wires and cables, making it the first Indian house-wire maker to achieve this eco-labelling.
The Indian wires and cables market is growing rapidly, with a focus on higher-performance products like flame-retardant, low-smoke, and zero halogen cables.
Polycab's products include FR, FRLS, and ZHFR grades, designed to limit ignition, slow flame propagation, and reduce toxic smoke during a fire.
The company is investing in backward integration, in-house copper rod manufacturing, and multi-site testing to ensure product quality and reduce the likelihood of counterfeit or sub-standard products.
Polycab's sustainability initiatives include sourcing recycled inputs, optimizing manufacturing energy intensity, reducing waste streams, and planning for end-of-life recycling.
