Steel - Tinplate

Emission intensity of steel - Tinplate. Obtained by electro plating a thin finished cold rolled coil with a thin layer of tin. It can be found on the market in coil or in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturers. Tin plated steel is used primarily in food cans industrial packaging (e.g. small drums) Typical thickness between 0.13 - 0.49 mm. Typical width between 600 - 1100 mm. System expansion was used on the steel e.g. for blast furnace slag and other co-products. The influence of system expansion to the GWP for steel products is 3 to 7% lower GWP. Contact Worldsteel for more information. At an EOL recovery rate of 85%. Module D impact of -1.36 kg CO2e per kg ('-' magnitude is a benefit '+' magnitude a burden). This gives a net life cycle inc Mod D of 1.49 kg CO2e per kg. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
