Towards carbon neutral construction industry

Our products can help reduce your building's carbon footprint

In our sustainable offering in particular, we choose low-carbon alternatives of raw materials, such as SSAB Zero and Fossil-free steel, whenever possible, and collaborate with e.g. insulation suppliers to develop more sustainable offering. Our solutions also help to reduce the emissions during the life-time of the building through, e.g. building integrated solar solutions and our airtight envelope solutions.

Our plants are energy and resource efficient, and continuous improvement and safety are at the core of our operations. We optimize the use of packaging materials and strive to transport our products with lower emissions.

Two new unique steels pave the way

World's first buildings made of fossil-free steel are a reality

SSAB Fossil-free™ steel is produced using the revolutionary HYBRIT® technology, which replaces coal in the iron ore reduction process with hydrogen. The result is a removal of the fossil carbon emissions. With the change, our parent company SSAB's aims to reduce Sweden’s CO₂ emissions by 10 % and Finland’s by 7 %.

Fossil free steel-based building products will be available in the Ruukki^® LowCarbon portfolio in the future. World’s first fossil-free steel building pilots were realized for Peab in Sweden and for Honkarakenne in Finland in autumn 2023.

Embracing a circular economy

Our products are crafted with high recycled content, e.g. Ruukki^® Life Panel,  and designed for optimal reuse and recyclability. Thanks to premium steel and coatings, our steel-based building products are long-lasting and require minimal maintenance. The long service life reduces the use of new materials, which helps save natural resources and reduce emissions. Steel is a 100% recyclable material, which allows it to be recycled continuously without loss of performance from product to product. Our first-class coating solutions with product warranty guarantee a long service life with minimized maintenance needs, and some are even maintenance-free, such as the Ruukki^®Patina Panel.
