EPD: Rebar, hot-rolled, Rancho Cucamonga mill, 490 lbs/ft3 (Gerdau)

Gerdau is one of the leading producers of rebar – concrete reinforcing steel – providing an impressive range of straight bars, coil, dowel and coated products. Rebar is used in bridges, buildings, skyscrapers, homes, warehouses, foundations and roads to increase the strength of the concrete and to serve as the skeleton of the structure. These products have been used in projects ranging from the new NY Bridge, replacing the Tappan Zee Bridge, to the World Trade Center, and from hotels on the East Coast to professional stadiums on the West Coast. With Gerdau’s Hot-Rolled Rebar, rolled from continuous cast billets, customers have the ability to choose the products best meeting their construction requirements, from dowel bars and mine anchor bolts, to coil and straight rebar, as well as epoxy-coated rebar and a proprietary zinc and polymer coated rebar (ZBAR) for added corrosion resistance. Gerdau rebar is manufactured from recycled steel, demonstrating the company’s commitment to environmentally- responsible steel production. This Environmental Product Declaration is for 1 metric ton of fabricated Carbon Steel Rebar produced by Gerdau in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Carbon Steel Rebar is manufactured from steel scrap, melted in an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) followed by hot rolling, and by transport to Gerdau fabrication shops and fabrication.
