This EPD represents a single specific product of reinforced steel, named Rebar – B500. Reinforced steel serves many purposes, it is used through the building from foundations to floors. Rebars function within the building is to reinforce the concrete of the building. The steel consists of 97.8% recycled content, meaning that 2.2% is produced from primary steel (22 kg per ton), while the remaining 97.6% corresponds to secondary material (978 kg per ton) already included in the model.

Product specification: Rebar or reinforcing bar is a carbon steel bar or mesh used to strengthen concrete structures by increasing tensile strength. Rebars are commonly used in construction to provide structural integrity, durability and resistance against cracking and deformation under various loads and environmental conditions. Rebar comes in various bar diameters and are ribbed to provide a good bond with the concrete.
