Stalatube’s goal is to be the cleanest producer of stainless steel structural sections in its field. Stalatube guarantees that a minimum 75% of stainless steel raw materials are recycled. Consequently, the usage of recycled material lowers the carbon footprint of the final product. This, in return, can be seen in the Environmental Product Declarations, EPD.
Stalatube has carried out a Life-Cycle Assessment study as a basis for five Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), complying with ISO 14040:2006 + A1:2020, EN ISO 14044:2006 + A1:2018 +A2:2020, EN 15804:2012 + A2:2019, and PCR for Construction products v.1.3.1. The report aims to provide customers with reliable and comparable information on the environmental impact of Stalatube’s products. The objective of the LCA study is to understand where in the life cycle of the products the environmental burden lay, to highlight where actions to reduce the environmental burden should be taken, and to illustrate where in the life cycle the environmental hot spots are most significant. Additionally, the results are compiled to produce an EPD.
