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.

With the Help of O-I Glass, Renata Tambasco's Glass Recycling Start-Up Creates New Habits in São Paulo

SOURCE: O-I Glass, Inc.

DESCRIPTION:

Recitotal, a glass recycling and processing company based in São Paulo, Brazil isn’t your average recycling collection operation. Led by Managing Director Renata De Moraes Pereira Tambasco, Recitotal employees travel their route by motorized tricycles, collecting glass bottles and jars from bars, restaurants, and condominiums.

The project started in 2019. The motorized tricycles are green, representing the international standard for glass recycling. Each has a “Glass Collection” identification and has a bucket that holds up to 400kg of glass. They travel the same 5km route each day, passing by the same bars, restaurants, and condominiums. The routes and the green bikes have made Recitotal so recognizable, people are accustomed to seeing them and stop the vehicles to donate glass. The glass they collect returns to O-I’s plant to be created into new glass packaging.

Recycled glass is a main ingredient to manufacture new glass bottles and jars. The more recycled glass that is used to create more glass, the more sustainable the process.

“Each ton of glass recycled in the manufacturing process saves 2.9% in energy consumption,” explains Morgana Correa, Legal and Government Relations Manager at O-I and leader of the O-I Sustainability Committee in South America. It also means that more glass remains in the circular economy rather than going to a landfill where it will not be reused.

People in São Paulo and O-I are enthusiastic about Recitotal’s work. Tambusco is tracking notable increases in both glass separation and donation. She also notes an increase in appreciation of the importance of recycling glass, which is essential for the shift needed towards greater recyclability of glass.

“Increasing recycling rates in Brazil is a grandiose goal and contribution,” she says. “In the case of glass, the challenge is even greater, but we believe that collective awareness of its importance is the first concrete step towards successfully achieving consistent progress."
