What We Do

Decommissioning and Recycling
of retired Submarine Cables

Since 2014, Subsea Environmental Services has been recovering out-of-service (OOS), submarine telecommunication cables from the seabed and recycling their components. Subsea continues to acquire its cable portfolio from all major legacy telcos and consortiums. Our cable portfolio is currently in excess of 300,000 kms, making Subsea one of the largest owners of OOS submarine cable systems in the world.

Our Mission

Benefiting all Stakeholders
while Adhering to Industry Best Practice

We are dedicated to responsibly harnessing the untapped potential of out-of-service (OOS) cables by reintroducing the recycled material back into the global supply chain. Recycling these cables is both a viable and efficient means to source raw materials while simultaneously demonstrating marine environmental stewardship.

Healthy Oceans. Healthy Business

“Our connection with the ocean is profound. It has shaped life on Earth and continues to influence our daily lives in visible and invisible ways. While humanity has thrived thanks to the ocean, we’ve also significantly altered it. How can we protect our seas while using them responsibly?”
World Oceans Counsel
