Steel - Organic coated sheet

Emission intensity of steel - Organic coated sheet. Obtained by coating a steel substrate with organic layers such as paint or laminated film. The substrate is mainly hot dip galvanized coil but may also be electrogalvanized coil finished cold rolled coil or tin-free steel. It can be found on the market in coil or in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturers. Organic coated Steel is use in all activity sectors like construction (roof wall and ceiling claddings lighting radiators etc) general industry (e.g. office furniture heating ventilating air conditioning) domestic appliances (refrigerators washing machines small kitchen appliances computer casings VCR & DVD casings etc) and packaging. Typical thickness between 0.15 - 1.5 mm. Typical width between 600 - 1300 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 -1.27 kg CO2e per kg ('-' magnitude is a benefit '+' magnitude a burden). This gives a net life cycle inc Mod D of 1.79 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.
