Innovation, circularity, and strategic investments for the cable industry.
Discover Repsol's main strategic investments in Europe, our differential solutions for the cable industry, and the role of Repsol Reciclex® as a key component in the transition towards a more competitive, resilient, and circular industry.
Discover how we are strengthening our industrial presence in Europe to drive competitiveness and the transition to more circular materials as part of our industrial transformation.
This commitment translates into strategic investments in Portugal and Spain aimed at strengthening the European industrial value chain:
An investment of €657 million to develop a capacity of 600 kt/year of polypropylene and linear polyethylene, one of the largest industrial projects in Portugal in the last decade.
With an investment of €26 million, this facility will provide 25 kt/year of mechanical recycling capacity, reinforcing our circular economy strategy.
An investment of €105 million that will include 15 kt/year of high-performance polymer capacity for high added value applications.
We offer over 40 grades, designed for electrical and communication cables that include a wide range of materials: polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), EVA and EBA copolymers, and base copolymers for HFFR (halogen-free flame retardant) applications.
All of them provide performance, reliability, and versatility throughout the entire cable value chain.
These solutions cover key cable industry applications such as:
Grades of insulation for low and medium voltage electrical cables.
Insulation solutions and covers for communication cables.
Grades of covering for power cables.
The transition to the circular economy is also at the heart of what we're bringing to Wire 2026. Through Repsol Reciclex®, we present a complete portfolio of circular polyolefins that reduce emissions without compromising technical performance.
Our mechanical recycling offering includes low-density polyethylene and linear low-density polyethylene grades with up to 70% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, certified by Recyclass, helping manufacturers reduce their carbon footprint and meet demanding technical requirements.
In addition, our Repsol Reciclex® range with ISCC Plus certification includes advanced solutions:
