Can anyone point me in the direction of an appropriate EPD for structural stainless steel? CAN/US preferably. I haven’t found anything relevant in my searches yet. ---

Here’s one I found from googling…I haven’t actually looked through its content. Not North American - Finnish company, IBU (Germany) program operator - but perhaps better than nothing… press release: > **[Outokumpu publishes environmental product declarations (EPD) for its main...](https://www.outokumpu.com/en/news/2019/outokumpu-publishes-environmental-product-declarations-(epd)-for-its-main-stainless-steel-products)** EPD: > **[epd-cold-rolled-stainless-steel.pdf](https://otke-cdn.outokumpu.com/-/media/files/sustainability/epd-cold-rolled-stainless-steel.pdf?revision=cc4d53d2-3e02-4b4c-9015-38af8221d28f&modified=20191102013928)** > > 2.03 MB ---

There are four EPD from Outokumpu in the IBU programme, which cover a range of products, and sites including some in the US. [https://ibu-epd.com/en/published-epds/](https://ibu-epd.com/en/published-epds/) There is also three EPD in EPD Norge for stainless steel [https://www.epd-norge.no/stal-aluminiumskonstruksjoner/kaldvalsede-plater-og-coils-i-rustfritt-stal-article2930-323.html](https://www.epd-norge.no/stal-aluminiumskonstruksjoner/kaldvalsede-plater-og-coils-i-rustfritt-stal-article2930-323.html) and [https://www.epd-norge.no/soekeresultat/?categoryID=236&q=stainless](https://www.epd-norge.no/soekeresultat/?categoryID=236&q=stainless) ---

An EPD for structural stainless steel in CAN/US ain’t easy to find, but keep looking! EPD means Environmental Product Declaration, which tells ya 'bout the environmental impact of a product. [Stainless steel](https://www.lunatechequipment.com/biomass-packer) is a strong, shiny metal that don’t rust easily. Just keep searching, you’ll find what you need!
