These days, sustainability isn’t just a goal. It’s a mandate. Project builders everywhere are actively looking for steel products to reach “net zero” emissions targets. That’s why CMC has developed RebarZero™. For starters, all CMC’s products contain 98% recycled material, qualifying as positive contributors for the United States Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED Initiative. Now, we’ve gone another step further. Our advanced RebarZero™ entirely neutralizes the greenhouse gas emissions associated with its production, fabrication, and delivery to your job site, otherwise known as scope 1, 2 and 3. How? As an electric arc furnace (EAF) steel manufacturer, CMC already produces steel with a greenhouse gas intensity 63% lower than the industry average. But once Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and carbon offset credits are also factored in, RebarZero™ balances out the fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions completely. The result? Rebar that’s 100% carbon-neutral—and project owners that are 100% happy.
