| General comment on data set | Reinforcing Mesh made out of sustainable produced steelScope and type: Wirerod from European suppliers is processed in Reinforcing Mesh Plus according to the European standards in Almelo, the Netherlands, processing plant. EPD is valid for the European market EN15804 + A2 and follows the general ISO14025 standard. The Almelo production site uses for this renewable power. LCA is conducted using the Ecoinvent 3.6 database, Simapro 9.4 LCA software.

The average is conservatively calculated worst-case scenario based on production demand and contracted output of the Almelo processing plant. 93% Of the product is based on already verified EPDs from suppliers, the remaining wirerod 7% has been modelled with Ecoinvent references representative for steel rebar in Europe. At all times, the choice has been made to calculate with processes and database references that match the geographical context of the production process. Standard profiles that do not match geographically have been adjusted to be geographically accurate location as representative as possible.Calculation rules: Average mode of transport have been assumed for A2 No cut-off criteria have been used nor any type of allocation. The product exists for 93% out of previously verified EPDs. The infrastructure for the production has been cut-off based on the cut-off criteria. Based on the annual production numbers and impact per tonne wiring rod, infrastructure comes at <E-11.Scenarios and additional technical information Production and extraction of raw material- and energy flows A1 Extraction of raw materials. Steel rebar is sourced from several suppliers in Europe - Arcelor Mittal - Celsa Atlantic - Sidenor - Stahl Gerlafingen. 92,44% of this rebar is covered by EPDs EN15804:A2, the remainder is modelled in Simapro using appropiate Ecoinvent references. Transport between extraction and manufacturing A2 Transport between production sites takes place between suppliers in various locations in Europe and the Almelo site in the Netherlands. Internal transports take place for transhipment and within the factory gates of the manufacturing sites. Wirerod is transported over road, inland waters, sea and rail. Manufacturing to product A3 At the Almelo site, the sourced wirerod is manufactured into Reinforcing Mesh Plus. This might also include welded fabric, rebar or coilsDeclaration of SVHC: This product does not contain any substances on the SVHC candidate list.More information: Wapeningsproducten - Van Merksteijn International (van-merksteijn.com) |
