CO2-neutralised reinforcing steel from Bad-Schönborn
Sustainable housing
In Neulußheim in the Rhine-Neckar district, a modern residential quarter is currently being built, consisting of six terraced houses and two apartment buildings with eight residential units, on a total plot of 2,100 m². The sustainable construction method is not only evident in the energy concept but also in the sustainable commitment. The SÜLZLE Stahlpartner branch in Bad Schönborn is supplying around 200 tonnes of CO2-neutralised reinforcing steel to its partner, Tröndle Bau GmbH. The climate protection contribution made by Tröndle Bau per tonne of reinforcing steel promotes projects with a positive effect on the global CO2 balance. This is done by offsetting the CO2 emissions generated – from the provision of raw materials to delivery to the construction site.
Sustainably implemented
SÜLZLE is accordingly aware of its responsibility to keep the carbon footprint of its upstream suppliers as low as possible. SÜLZLE mainly procures reinforcing steel from electric steel production, which already means a reduction of the CO2 footprint by approx. 70 % compared to conventional production in the blast furnace. In addition, SÜLZLE purchases its reinforcing steel from specially selected suppliers. This means that the CO2 footprint can be reduced by a further approx. 30 % compared to the standard electric steel production. With CO2-neutralised reinforcing steel, the emissions that cannot currently be reduced are offset by compensation.
