PCF – Product Carbon Footprint for NLMK DanSteel Hot rolled Steel Plates

ACRYPT’s recent work on the verified PCF for NLMK DanSteel’s hot-rolled uncoated steel plates containing 92% of recycled metal scrap raw materials, demonstrated their capability to handle complex assessments in compliance with ISO 14067 and ISO 14025 with EN 15804+A2:2019 reference standards. They specializes in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the development of Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) services. ACRYPT provides detailed environmental impact analyses essential for sustainable product development.

Project description

This Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) assessment is based on a cradle-to-gate with modules A1-A3, C1-C4, and module D based on the application of LCA methodology according to reference PCR. The following life cycle stages are considered:

• Production (Modules A1-A3)
• End-of-life (Modules C1-C4)
• Benefits and loads beyond product system boundary (Module D)

The foreground data was modelled by using specific data derived from NLMK DanSteel manufacturing facility, and was analysed by ACRYPT, Denmark. Furthermore, LCA datasets (cradle to gate) for raw materials, energy consumption, and other ancillary materials have been linked to the foreground data of the various stages of the life cycle (background data). The background data are provided by OneClick LCA from the Ecoinvent 3.8 database.
