Brand-new data shows an 11% reduction in the embodied carbon of structural steel.
Get a sneak peek at the data for forthcoming new EPDs by downloading the independent life cycle assessment (LCA) report, which showcases newly refined, even more accurate methods to calculate the industry’s impact.
Why the reduction? Three primary reasons: less use of ore-based metallics (OBMs), a greener U.S. electrical grid, and more on-site renewable energy generation.
New environmental product declarations (EPDs) are being developed in accordance with the new steel construction products product category rule (PCR), all of which are anticipated in 2025.
