Developing high strength steels, offering new solutions in the construction and retail segment are some of our initiatives towards resource efficiency. Tata Steel ensures that the technologies and processes used to manufacture products must optimise resources and be efficient.
We have been using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impact of our products considering its various life cycle stages. Our LCA studies are based on worldsteel LCA methodology which are guided by ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
We believe LCA approach is a holistic and scientific way of understanding a product’s environmental impacts across its value chain.
Life Cycle of Steel
Products of Tata Steel Jamshedpur Works, Tata Steel Kalinganagar Works, Tarapur Wire Plant, ISWP, Steel Processing Centres (that manufactures Rebar) are so far been covered under our LCA studies. We plan to cover 100% of our products under LCA.
Our LCA studies helps us in obtaining eco-labels, identifying environmental hotspots and support customers and internal teams with product related environmental information.
Our VAVE (Value Analysis and Value Engineering) initiative with automotive customers generates ideas on steel usage in a vehicle with an aim to reduce cost and weight of the vehicle. The ideas are categorised into optimising grade, thickness, integration and deletion of parts. We also support customers for implementation of the ideas. VAVE initiative helps customers reduce overall mass of the vehicle thereby reducing tailpipe emissions during its use-phase.
