Green Compact Radiator

Description

If you’re looking to make more sustainable choices and help do your part for the environment, look no further than the Stelrad Green Series radiator range. Providing the same great performance you’ve come to expect from Stelrad radiators, Green Steel is the next generation of radiators that are manufactured using renewable energy, not coal or gas, to help reduce CO₂ emissions at source. Using zero plastic for its packaging, each recyclable radiator in this range will contribute towards lowering emissions, something we feel very strongly about at Stelrad as part of our ongoing sustainability commitments.

Offering the first UK manufactured low carbon-emissions steel radiators. 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.

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.

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.

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.

How much CO₂ is being saved?
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.
