SSAB Zero Colour-Coated Steel
The same GreenCoat colour coating on SSAB Zero — steel made from recycled scrap in electric furnaces run on fossil-free electricity — declared at 1.1 kgCO2e/kg against 2.49 for the blast-furnace product. That 56% cut is the largest single carbon decision available in a coated-steel specification, and it needs no change to profile, coating, colour or performance: the declarations differ only in substrate. Module D’s recycling credit is correspondingly smaller (−0.2 vs −1.49) because recycled content is already counted in production.
Carbon and evidence
Product Evidence
Evidence currently held for the SSAB product record.
Recorded Carbon Result
A1–A3 GWP-total per kg of coated product. Colour-coated products on SSAB Zero substrate: steel made from recycled scrap melted with fossil-free electricity and biogas. Same coating lines (Kankaanpää, Finland) as the standard GreenCoat products. Module D declares -0.2 kgCO2e/kg of recycling credit separately. Compare per kg only against other coil products — per-m² depends on gauge and profile.
Indicator: GWP-total
A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.
