Tata Steel & CII Collaboration For 'Green' Rebar
Tata Steel has collaborated with CII Green Business Centre and relevant stakeholders in the Indian steel sector to develop a GreenPro framework for steel rebars, for first time in India. The GreenPro Ecolabel enables the end-users to make an informed choice about buying steel with the lowest environment impact. The products with GreenPro label meet India’s sustainability requirements and are recognized in Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) green building rating system. “Tata Steel is committed to demonstrate that going green in manufacturing steel products makes business sense and contributes to the nation’s objective of reducing CO2 emissions,” says Biswajit Ghosh, chief of technology, Tata Steel. According to Tata Steel, there is a need in the Indian steel industry to reduce the environmental footprint during the manufacturing of steel products and supply more sustainable steel for the Indian building sector. GreenPro is a Type-1 Ecolabelling program offered by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Green Business Centre. So far, more than 125 building products and materials manufacturing companies have adopted GreenPro Ecolabel for 1,800+ products and are available in the market for construction of green buildings.
