It is understood that in order to promote the construction of my country's product carbon label system and advocate green production and green consumption, according to the initiative of Jiugang Group and other platform users, the steel industry EPD platform has completed the design and development of EPD labels, and officially released at this conference. .

EPD label is an electronic label for product environmental performance information customized for users based on specific business scenarios. Take the EPD label of austenitic stainless steel cold-rolled sheet products of Taigang Group as an example. The product EPD label consists of the data area on the left and the complete information entry on the right, which visually shows the GWP100 global warming potential of austenitic stainless steel products. Numerical value (3.125tCO2-eq/t) and abbreviated EPD report registration number (TISCO-20220003). End users only need to scan the QR code on the right side of the label with WeChat to "trace" the basic information of the product type in real time, such as product type name, manufacturer, place of production, expiration date, etc., and can log in to view the complete The EPD report provides comprehensive information on the environmental performance of this product category "from cradle to door".

It is worth noting that EPD labels have both digital and intelligent genes, so that digital information of products can be quickly and accurately conveyed to users. important means. The label has a wide range of application scenarios, such as displaying on steel physical labels, product quality guarantees, trading platforms or websites.

Ruan Qiang, deputy general manager of Jiugang (Group) Company, said that through EPD labels, users can intuitively understand the environmental performance information of products and improve consumer confidence. By publishing EPD reports and obtaining EPD labels, companies will help promote the improvement of environmental performance in all aspects of the product supply chain.

Downstream users in the automotive, construction, home appliances and other industrial chains have expressed that the release and use of EPD labels for steel products will have a "top sheep" effect, which will help build a green and low-carbon industrial chain. For all relevant enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, they should plan ahead, plan and implement as soon as possible, release quantitative environmental performance information, and affix EPD labels to products as soon as possible.

It is understood that as the first EPD platform in my country's industrial field, the EPD platform for the steel industry has settled in 14 authoritative third-party verification institutions since its release on May 19 this year; the cumulative number of registered users is 750, covering steel enterprises, downstream industries, high-level Universities, professional institutions, etc.; 8 EPD/CFP reports have been released, and more than 10 EPD/CFP reports are in progress. The attention of the EPD platform and the influence of the industry continue to increase.

"The successful release and smooth operation of the EPD platform in the steel industry is driven by the endogenous driving force for the green and low-carbon development of China's steel industry. It is an inevitable requirement for the green and low-carbon development of the steel industry, and it is also the responsibility and responsibility of a major steel industry." China Steel Industry Jiang Wei, deputy secretary of the party committee of the association, said. In the next step, the EPD platform of the steel industry will further improve the platform infrastructure and continuously expand its social influence. According to the requirements put forward by He Wenbo, Secretary of the Party Committee and Executive Chairman of China Iron and Steel Association, at the launching ceremony of the EPD platform for the steel industry on May 19 this year, the platform will strive to become an "industry participation, government support, user recognition, market acceptance, and international recognition". Platform", "In order to promote the transition from the 'point' of the low-carbon development of the steel industry to the promotion of the 'face', it will give full play to its due functions and values."

In the next step, the EPD platform of the steel industry will further improve the platform infrastructure, continuously expand its social influence, continue to provide green labels for more green steel products, and help the green and low-carbon transformation of Chinese steel.
