EPD: Reinforcing steel bars, 7850 kg/m3, XCarb® (ArcelorMittal Europe)

This EPD applies to 1 metric tonne of XCarb™ Recycled and renewably produced Reinforcing steel in bars and coils for the building industry based on steel production in Electric Arc Furnace with renewable electricity supply with Guarantee of Origins. Reinforcing Steel in bars and coils, (including standard rebars, special rebars – Krybar®, rock bolt and tie bars, threaded bars and steel rod for mesh) covers carbon steel for geotechnical use and the reinforcement of concrete. The surface of rebars and meshes is patterned to form a better bond with soil and concrete; in addition the ribs on threaded bars, rock bolts and tie bars allow for bolting.
