Hardox® 450 made from SSAB Zero™ immediately reduces the carbon footprint of construction, mining & quarrying equipment and lowers emissions from steel production at the source.
Feb 27, 2025
Swedish steel company SSAB is thrilled to showcase the first SSAB Zero™ steel in the Hardox® product range at Bauma this year. Hardox® 450 made from SSAB Zero™ has the same qualities and high standards of performance that make Hardox® wear plate the global benchmark for premium wear plate.
SSAB Zero™ is made using recycled steel in a process powered by fossil-free electricity and biogas, resulting in virtually no carbon emissions from fossil fuels during the steelmaking process. The fossil carbon emissions in SSAB’s production of SSAB Zero™ are less than 0.05 kg CO2e/kg steel in Scope 1 and 2 of the GHG Protocol. This steel can thus help reduce carbon emissions at the source, from the steel production process itself, downstream throughout a manufacturer’s value chain.
SSAB is leading the green steel transition to fossil-free steelmaking, helping manufacturers meet their sustainability goals. With Hardox® 450 made from SSAB Zero™, manufacturers have a way to mitigate the impact of their Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions that are generated across the value chain) and reduce industry’s overall carbon footprint.
Hardox® 450 immediately reduces the carbon footprint of construction, mining and quarrying equipment; lowers emissions from steel production at the source; and supports the development of clean energy technologies & achievement of broader sustainability goals. It delivers superior hardness and toughness that can withstand the harshest working conditions and environments. It can be used in all current equipment that use Hardox® wear plate.
