Webinar – Live roundtable
Supply chain resilience and circularity October 13, 2026 – 1:30 PM CEST
Copper, aluminum and polymer markets are under mounting geopolitical pressure. Join Nexans, Suez, Equans and SE Advisory Services for a live conversation on how circularity turns resource scarcity into a source of resilience.
“Building resilient supply chains through circularity and innovation”
A cable is a bundle of strategic commodities, and every one is under pressure
Copper, aluminum, polymers, energy and logistics. Resilience is no longer a purchasing question. It’s a question of availability, optionality, traceability and local loops.
30%
projected copper supply deficit by 2035 under the current mine pipeline (IEA)
4-yr high
aluminum prices in June 2026 (LME)
+55%
increase in PE / PP polymer prices, Feb–May 2026 (OECD)
5x
increase in export restrictions on critical raw materials since 2009 (OECD)
Circularity turns waste from a disposal problem into a strategic raw-material source, and a hedge against the next shock. Recycling alone could cut new copper mine development needs by up to 40%.
