The Sustainable Optical Fiber Industry Alliance (SOFIA) is an industry initiative aimed at increasing collaboration, raising awareness and ambitions on sustainability throughout the Optical Fibre and Cable industry.

•    Motivation, challenges, goals, examples of best practices in sustainability within the industry and next steps

•    Q&A with by Borealis, Covestro, Heraeus, Rosendahl Nextrom, Teijin, Umicore

These are some of the challenges the optical fibre industry face today: 

•    Lack of transparency and common understanding on sustainability of an optical fiber or an optical fiber cable

•    Insufficient communication from the industry about how the industry is moving towards sustainability

•    Address the diversity of methodology to describe environmental impact in the production of raw materials, optical fibres or optical fibre cables

•    Setting specific goals and ambitions 

We want to introduce an initiate on sustainability which aims at addressing these challenges. The Sustainable Optical Fiber Industry Alliance (SOFIA) is an industry initiative aimed at increasing collaboration, raising awareness and ambitions on sustainability throughout the Optical Fiber and Cable industry.
