Corbec Inc., a recognized leader in Canada’s galvanizing and construction industry, made a groundbreaking announcement at the recent Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Conference in Vancouver. Hellen Christodoulou, Executive VP of Engineering and Sustainability, revealed during a plenary session that Corbec will be publishing third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in collaboration with the CSA Group. Corbec is the first galvanizer in Canada to publish EPDs for galvanized structural steel and the first in North America for galvanized steel rebars—a major milestone for the industry.

Christodoulou stated, “Corbec has set a new benchmark for the Canadian construction industry. By offering EPDs, we provide designers and specifiers with a proven, low-carbon, high-ROI corrosion protection solution, helping them meet their performance goals while reducing environmental impact.”

This innovation is particularly significant for the bridge and infrastructure sectors, as EPD results show that galvanized rebars have the lowest global warming potential across their life cycle, outperforming alternatives like glass fiber-reinforced and stainless steel rebars.

Since 1965, Corbec has been committed to excellence in steel protection, quality, and innovation. By taking the lead in publishing plant-specific EPDs, Corbec demonstrates its dedication to advancing sustainable construction practices, guiding the industry toward a more environmentally responsible future.
