Ownership and limitation on use of EPD

Limitations

EPDs within the same product category but published in different EPD programmes, may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same first-digit version number) or be based on fully aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.

Ownership

The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

Product information

Product nameFabricated Rebar
Product identificationFabricated Rebar
Product descriptionIs a hot-rolled steel product designed for the construction of reinforced concrete structural elements such as footings, piles, shafts, floors, columns, beams, slabs, walls, lintels, closures, precast elements, tunnels, pavements, bridges, and canals, among others.
Technical purpose of productThis product is a hot-rolled steel reinforcement solution specifically designed for use in reinforced concrete structural elements such as footings, piles, shafts, floors, columns, beams, slabs, walls, lintels, closures, precast elements, tunnels, pavements, bridges, and channels, among others.
Manufacturing or service provision descriptionThe process begins with the reception and quality inspection of the raw material, which consists of standard reinforcing steel bars (rebar). Once verified, the material is fed into automated or semi-automated lines for initial dimensional adjustment and cutting, based on the specific measurements and geometries required by each project. Subsequently, the cut rebar undergoes further dimensional processing, which may include threading or welding operations, depending on structural and assembly specifications. The bars are then subjected to bending and shaping stages to achieve the final configuration as per client or project needs. Once all processing steps are completed, the finished products are packaged and labeled for identification, traceability, and either stored temporarily or dispatched for distribution to the corresponding construction sites.

Default scenario

Name of the default scenarioEnd of life stage (modules C1, C2, C3, C4).
Description of the default scenarioThese lifecycle stages include fuel consumption for the demolition of 1 m of Fabricated Rebar, transport of waste to recycling and sanitary landfill, processing of deconstruction waste for recycling and disposal of waste in sanitary landfill.

Module C: End-of-life

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module CEND OF LIFE STAGE
Brief description of the default scenario in module CThese lifecycle stages include fuel consumption for the demolition
Description of the default scenario in module CThese lifecycle stages include fuel consumption for the demolition of 1 m of Fabricated Rebar, transport of waste to recycling and sanitary landfill, processing of deconstruction waste for recycling and disposal of waste in sanitary landfill. C1 considers fuel consumption for the demolition of Fabricated Rebar, C2 considers the transport of the waste generated, where 98% of the material is recycled and 2% is disposed of in landfill, C3 considers the amount of recycled material declared in C2, and module C4 considers the material sent to landfill.

Module D: Beyond product life cycle

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module DResource recovery stage
Brief description of the default scenario in module DAvoided loads and benefits of stopping the production
Description of the default scenario in module DAvoided loads and benefits of stopping the production of Fabricated Rebar with virgin steel. The amount of input material in the product system that has been recovered (recycled or reused) from a previous system (determined at the system boundary) was 90% recycled material, as reported by INGETEK.

Additional scenario 1

Name of the additional scenario100% Recycling / 100 % landfil
Description of the additional scenarioIn this combined alternative scenario, end-of-life treatment was modelled based on a scenario in which 100% of the concrete is recovered and recycled and a scenario in which 100% of the steel is disposed of in a landfill.

Module C: End-of-life

Description of the additional scenario in module CIn this combined alternative scenario, end-of-life treatment was modelled based on a scenario in which 100% of the steel is recovered and recycled, which is reported in C3, and a scenario in which 100% of the steel reported as C4 is disposed of in a landfill. These 100% alternative scenarios are not representative of the geographical context. Both scenarios are reported in the section ‘Results for additional scenarios for modules A4-C4’ as C3 and C4, respectively.

Module D: Beyond product life cycle

Description of the additional scenario in module DModule D does not present an alternative scenario.
