Choose a Green Compact radiator range that contributes directly to a reduction in atmospheric CO2 today and accelerates decarbonisation in the future.
Stelrad is offering the first UK manufactured low carbon-emissions steel radiators, using XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel, supported by an independently verified Environmental Product Declaration.
Stelrad customers can choose a Green Compact radiator range that contributes directly to a reduction in atmospheric CO₂ emissions today and accelerates decarbonisation in the future.
With sustainability a primary focus here at Stelrad, we know that our customers are also continuously looking for sustainable products for their homes and buildings.
The Stelrad Green Series is the next step in our commitment to provide greener radiators, helping our customers to contribute directly to reducing atmospheric CO₂. This range will help to ensure homes across the UK can be powered by radiators made with greener steel.
Why should I buy a Stelrad Green Compact?
- The Green Compact comes with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). An EPD transparently reports objective, comparable and third-party verified data about products’ environmental performance over the lifecycle of the radiator. This guarantees a thorough and verifiable declaration in line with the ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards for environmental labels and declarations.
- The steel utilised in the manufacture of these Green Compact radiators is XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel, which is made in an electric arc furnace with high recycled content and 100% renewable electricity.
- XCarb® brings together ArcelorMittal’s reduced, low and zero-carbon products and steelmaking activities, as well as wider initiatives and green innovation projects, into a single effort focused on achieving demonstrable progress towards net zero steel.
- All the electricity comes from renewable sources (assured via ‘Guarantee of origin’) and the steel is manufactured using very high levels of scrap steel.
- Radiators are 100% recyclable, with zero plastic used for the outer packaging.
- Scope 3 emissions are estimated to account for c.95% of the total emissions related to Stelrad’s products. Furthermore, the purchase of steel accounts for c.72% of total emissions. Clearly, decarbonisation of the steel supply chain is vital for Stelrad’s own supply chain, and increasing purchases of low carbon steel, such as XCarb®, is a concrete way of investing in the decarbonisation of steel, whilst contributing to immediate reductions in Stelrad’s Scope 3 emissions.
How much CO₂ is being saved per radiator?
- By using high levels of scrap steel and 100% renewable electricity, XCarb® recycled and renewably produced cold-rolled steel has a CO₂ footprint of approximately 800kg of CO₂e per tonne of finished steel. This is a 66% reduction compared with the same product made via the conventional steelmaking route.
- A typical 8 radiator household fitted with Green Compacts saves the equivalent of taking a typical family car off the road for 1200 miles.
- Enabling Stelrad to meet Scope 3 targets and declare low-embodied-CO₂ products.
There are 60 horizontal models to choose from, which can be identified by the Green Series branding.
