About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Owens Corning's Circular Economy Goal

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Owens Corning

DESCRIPTION:

Our goal: by 2030, we will establish viable circular economy business models involving our materials and how they are used. We can accomplish this by:

  • Increasing recycled content and decreasing virgin raw materials used in our products.
  • Developing technical solutions and practical business models for our product materials and packaging, so they can be used for beneficial purposes even after they are no longer used for the original purpose.
  • Collaborating up and down the supply chain, with customers, suppliers, communities, academics, policy makers, government entities, and other organizations.

Our circular economy efforts are focused in two areas:

  • Manufacturing This work focuses on meeting our 2030 waste management goals — reducing the intensity of waste generated by our processes by 50%, and then finding ways to reuse or recycle the rest — as well as our efforts to expand the use of recycled materials in our manufacturing operations and our products, across all businesses.
  • End-of-life solutions We are seeking innovative technologies and business models for our products and materials to be reused and repurposed indefinitely. This work includes internal partnerships among R&D, commercial, and corporate development to shape the vision and execution in this area. We also engage with external partners to develop end-of-life solutions for our products, as well as the products where our materials are used.

Our most recent initiatives toward establishing circular economy models include the following:

  • The circular economy team, established in 2020, defines goals and prioritizes projects that accelerate our circular economy ambitions. The team also partners with subject matter experts and teams across our company, as well as other stakeholders in the industry.
  • Take-back models encourage manufacturers to accept responsibility for downstream waste from customers using their products. For Owens Corning, this can include waste generated during construction, subsequent fabrication, installation, or protective packaging. Owens Corning Paroc has established take-back models in Sweden and Finland, as well as in our metals packaging products.
  • Shingle recycling efforts are in place, as our Specialty Asphalt paving business is working with state departments of transportation, roofing contractors, and other stakeholders to create a circular economy model for roofing shingles.
  • Owens Corning is a partner in the ZEBRA (Zero WastE Blade ReseArch) project in Europe, a cross-sector consortium launched in 2020 to develop the first 100% recyclable wind turbine blade.
