ABOUT THE EPDThis Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) contains the realfacts from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and provides informationthat can be used in order to put into perspective differentsteel sourcing. For Celsa Steel Service the EPD is a document that,together with the environmental report from Celsa Armeringsstål,shows a company investing in technology and technical solutionsthat affects the total environmental impact of its products.Celsa Steel Service AB is certified according to ISO 14001, andworks for a sustainable development of the environment. Thisdedication motivates a quest to minimize material and energyuse, but also to seek possibilities to increase the efficiency and reduceheavy work and unhealthy environments for people workingwith reinforcement. The company, as a part of CELSA Group,has the safety as the first priority and the company has incorporatedsafety in all its daily activities.For the products delivered by Celsa Steel Service, the upstreamprocesses that include the scrap processing and the steel works isthe dominating emitter. Apart from the upstream processes, theenvironmental burden is dependent on transportation distances,efficient logistics, the level of prefabrication with minimummaterial use, and efficient installation at the constructionsite. Construction sites have the potential to be more sustainableby limiting the number of transports, handle materials more efficiently,and implement routines to reduce wastes.Material for the production of reinforcement steel comes fromthe group’s steel and rolling mill in Mo i Rana, Norway. Celsa Nordichas during many years invested in new technology, not only toconform to, but to exceed environmental demands in Norwegianlegislation. All these investments have together a major impactin the production of more environmentally friendly reinforcementsteels in all stages of the production; i.e. the steel mill,the rolling mill, and transportation.Environmental benefits also come from the location of the millin northern Norway. The use of hydropower reduces indirect emissionsand the water used in the processes is naturally sourcedfrom immediate surrounding water magazines without any energyinput for retrieving it. The water is available in the processesbut is also generating electricity in the industrial park beforereaching sea level.Celsa Nordic has been an environmental pioneer in Norway by:• Producing its first environmental report according to NS-ENISO 14001 already in 1996• Becoming one of the first mills in Europe to get the EMAS markin 2010.• A 100 % scrap based production, being the largest recyclingcompany in Norway.• Reducing mercury emissions as well as primary and secondarydust emissions, recognized by the Norwegian Climate andPollution Agency (Klif).“We take into account the environmental,social and economic consequences of the strategicdecisions we make in all our daily tasks”Celsa Steel Service – EPD – DK3CelsaNordic_EDP_Danska.indd 3 2012-04-17 14:59:40
