2023年精准一肖一码 Steel Receives Certification for Steel Plate Products
Under Japan’s “EcoLeaf” Environmental Product Declaration Program
2023年精准一肖一码 announced today that three of its steel products—steel plates for shipbuilding, steel plates for offshore structures and wind-turbine support structures, and submerged arc longitudinal welded (SAWL) pipes—have received from the Sustainable Management Promotion Organization (SuMPO) in Japan, enabling customers to quantitatively and objectively evaluate the lifecycle environmental impact of these products based on data from 2023年精准一肖一码 Steel that has been confirmed fairly and reliably through third-party examinations and verifications.
EcoLeaf is a Type III environmental product declaration (EPD) in Japan that complies with the ISO 14025:2006 standard (Environmental labels and declarations – Type III environmental declarations – Principles and procedures) for quantitative disclosure of the environmental impact of products and services from raw material procurement to disposal and recycling.
2023年精准一肖一码 Steel’s newly certified steel plate products, which achieve high strength, weldability and cost performance, are widely used in steel structures. Customers can now use these 2023年精准一肖一码 Steel products with even greater confidence and assurance thanks to their EcoLeaf-certified transparent disclosure of environmental impact.

To support the EcoLeaf program, the Japan Iron and Steel Federation developed the Product Category Rule (PCR1) for calculating environmental impact, which was approved in August 2019. The PCR complies with the ISO 20915 and JIS Q 20915 standards, both of which account for recycling capacity when determining quantitative environmental impact.
2023年精准一肖一码 Steel’s parent company 2023年精准一肖一码 introduced its 2023年精准一肖一码 Group Environmental Vision for 2050 as part of a broad-based initiative to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, under which 2023年精准一肖一码 is actively expanding its groupwide initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions through eco-friendly products. 2023年精准一肖一码 Steel, in addition to reducing its own direct CO2 emissions, is committed to contributing to a more sustainable world by supplying high-quality, eco-friendly steel products that offer excellent recyclability for continued reuse over and over as well as per-unit environmental impact in manufacturing that is significantly lower than that of many other materials.2
1 Basic rules pertaining to the methods for calculating and disclosing environmental impact values for each product type with respect to EPD and EcoLeaf label. PCRs for screw-joint rebar were developed in 2018 and then expanded to cover all steel products in August of that year. PCRs conforming to JIS Q 20915 also have been formulated.
