| Datasources used for this EPD | ecoinvent database (general) ecoinvent 3.12 database |
| LCA Software | OpenLCA 2.6.0 |
| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | The LCA uses attributional modelling and production-weighted average primary data for SPCC-SD manufacturing from 1 January to 31 December 2025. Foreground data from Mycron Steel CRC Sdn. Bhd. are combined with ecoinvent 3.12 Cutoff, S background datasets. The system boundary covers A1–A3, C1–C4 and Module D. Module D is reported separately and is not aggregated with Modules A–C. All available foreground material and energy inputs, emissions, wastes and product outputs relevant to the declared product were included in the LCA model. The cut-off rules were applied in accordance with PCR 2019:14 and EN 15804. The inventory includes at least 99% of the mass and energy inflows for each unit process and at least 95% of the mass, energy and environmental relevance for the applicable aggregated life-cycle modules. Any excluded flows were assessed as insignificant. Allocation was avoided where process-specific information was available. For shared manufacturing inputs and outputs, allocation was performed using a physical, production-based approach based on the respective production quantities. The SPCC-SD results represent the production-weighted average of the SPCC-SD product range manufactured during the 2025 reporting period. A single production-weighted average LCA result is declared for the product group. Product-specific results by grade, thickness and width were not separately modelled. Therefore, the numerical variation entered in the EPD reporting format reflects that the same declared average result applies to all covered variants and does not represent a separately calculated variation between individual product specifications. |
| Version of the EN 15804 reference package | EF Reference Package 3.1 |
| Characterisation methods | Environmental impacts were calculated using the EN 15804+A2 characterisation method based on EF 3.1. The same characterisation method was applied consistently to A1–A3, C1–C4 and Module D. GWP-GHG is reported using the openLCA impact category “PCR – Global warming potential except emissions and uptake of biogenic carbon (GWP-IOBC/GHG) – v3.1”. No manual recalculation of GWP-GHG was applied. |
| Technology description including background system | Cold-Rolled Coil (SPCC-SD) is manufactured from incoming hot-rolled coil at the MSCRC Shah Alam facility. The manufacturing route includes continuous pickling, 6-high cold reduction, batch electrolytic cleaning and annealing, skinpass and tension levelling, followed by cold-rolled coil packaging. Supporting utility, environmental treatment and site operations are included within the manufacturing system. The foreground system includes raw materials, inbound transport, electricity, water, natural gas, kerosene where applicable, industrial gases, chemicals, lubricants, production consumables, packaging, scrap, waste, scheduled waste and treated effluent. Background processes are modelled using ecoinvent 3.12 Cutoff, S datasets, with Malaysian datasets used where available and representative regional or global datasets applied where suitable local datasets are unavailable. The declared end-of-life scenario assumes 85% recycling and 15% disposal. Potential benefits and loads from recovered steel are reported separately in Module D. |
| Scrap (recycled material) inputs contribution level | Less than 10% of the GWP-GHG results in modules A1-A3 come from scrap inputs |
Data quality assessment
| Description of data quality assessment and reference years | Data quality was assessed for technological, geographical and temporal representativeness, as well as completeness, precision and consistency. Primary foreground data cover the full 2025 calendar year and represent actual SPCC-SD production operations at the MSCRC Shah Alam manufacturing site. Secondary and proxy data are taken from ecoinvent 3.12 Cutoff, S, using dataset-specific reference years and Malaysian, regional or global datasets as available. The assessment covers at least 80% of each declared environmental impact indicator. The main limitation is the use of representative upstream HRC datasets instead of supplier-specific verified data. |

Information related to EPDs of multiple products
| Description of how the averages have been determined | The results represent a production-weighted average of the SPCC-SD product group based on verified primary production data for 1 January–31 December 2025. Material, energy, utility, packaging, waste and emission data were allocated to the SPCC-SD production route and scaled using the total finished saleable SPCC-SD production volume of 135,690 tonnes. Differences in grade, thickness and width are treated as specification variations within the same product type and are not declared separately. The average applies only to SPCC-SD and excludes HRPO and SPCC-1B. |
