BFRP REBAR’S SUSTAINABILITY

  Rebar made from Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer has less than 74%the carbon  footprint of steel and basalt has the lowest environmental impact in a Life-Cycle Assessment compared with other Fiber Reinforced Polymer rebar for concrete reinforcement construction applications. Now more than ever, the world needs sustainability. If you think that using green and sustainable materials is the way forward, you can help to make this happen. Steel is one of the most widely used materials in the world but it is not infinite, and it will disappear at a faster rate than we think if we don’t do something about it. Moreover, most of us are aware of the environmental damage caused by steel production and use. Steel products are one of the largest contributors to the carbon footprint, especially in the construction industry. As well, repair of concrete infrastructure can cost billions of dollars a year, and steel reinforcement is no longer the preferred option. The time has come for somethi...
