GERDAU STRUCTURAL STEEL HAS THE LOWEST EMBODIED CARBON IN THE U.S.

Carbon emissions in steel are quantified as the product’s global warming potential (GWP), expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent units (CO2eq/ton steel), and found in documents called Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) published by each producing mill. Publicly available, third-party verified EPD data shows that Gerdau's three structural mills produce beams with the lowest embodied carbon among U.S. mills.
