In summary, EcoWire® achieves expanded functionality over standard PVC-based hook-up wire with insulation that is fully recyclable an uses a modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE) thermoplastic that is inherently lighter, tougher and more durable than PVC. EcoWire® is also non-halogenic and contains no heavy metal pigments. The result is UL certified wire that helps manufacturers meet Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements.
