Tata Steel has published Environmental Product Declaration for Steel Structural Hollow Sections sold under the brand name Tata Structura, as part of its commitment to be a benchmark in sustainability disclosures and to serve its customers with product specific sustainability information. The Life Cycle Assessment study carried out for developing the EPD for steel products is done as per ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. LCA allows companies to evaluate their product’s environmental performance over its entire life cycle. It typically takes into account the full value chain, from material extraction to manufactured product, its usage stage, and end-of-life impacts. Steel Structural hollow sections under the brand name Tata Structura cater to construction segment and for various aesthetic applications. Tubes SBU manufactures structural tubes conforming to IS:4923 and IS:1161 for Square/Rectangular and Circular Hollow sections respectively. It is a very versatile product and finds application across construction segments – (e.g.) infrastructure projects like airports, railways & metro stations, housing & commercial, large stadiums & sports arenas, industrial sheds & warehouses, and aesthetic sculptures. It is available with a yield strength ranging from 210 to 410 MPa. This is the second EPD from Tata Steel Limited after the publication of Steel Rebars EPD. Tata Steel will focus on securing eco-labels (GreenPro and EPD) for its key products and on maximizing the coverage of its products across various sites under LCA to support the customers with product-related sustainability disclosures enabling designers, customers understand better a product’s environmental impact. EPDs are Type III eco-labels that transparently declare the product’s environmental impact over its life cycle across various indicators. It is a comprehensive, third-party reviewed report that acts as a verified document in communicating a product’s life cycle environmental impact for disclosure purposes. EPD is widely used in green building and construction material industry as it accounts for scoring the required credit points in green building assessment system. It can also be used in prioritizing products based on green public procurement policies. The EPD is published in the International EPD System Tata Steel has already received GreenPro certification for many of its products including Steel Structural Hollow Sections (Tata Structura), Tata Tiscon (Steel Rebars), Tata Pradesh, Tata Ezyfit and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag. GreenPro certified products are recognized in the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) rating system as well as by various government institutions (Chennai Metro, Delhi Metro, etc.). In Europe, the Company has produced over 50 Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its construction sector customers – a milestone in environmental impact transparency and reporting.
