EPD: Reinforcement steel (rebar), 7850 kg/m3 (Gerdau, Whitby plant)

Gerdau is one of the leading producers of rebar – concrete reinforcing steel – providing an impressive range of straight bars and dowel 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 straight rebar. Gerdau rebar is manufactured from recycled steel, demonstrating the company’s commitment to environmentally- responsible steel production.
