2 A national branch and distributor network services customers Australia wide by supplying quality STEEL reinforcing products to Australia s largest construction companies through to the home renovator. OneSteel Reinforcing was one of the first rebar and mesh processors in Australia to receive Quality Compliance Certification from the Australian Certification Authority for Reinforcing Steels (ACRS). This helps to ensure that Australia's construction standards are met with the use of compliant materials. 3 Along with REODATA, we also have a range of reinforcing essentials, guides and resources that will benefit your next project, including.

6 The following lists the STEEL Credit points available under the current guidelines : Life Cycle Impacts - STEEL Credit - Points available: 1 One point is available where project teams can demonstrate a 5% reduction in the mass of reinforcing STEEL used in the building when compared to standard practice Responsible Building Materials Credit 20 - Points available: 1 One point is available where 95% of the building's STEEL (by mass) is sourced from a responsible STEEL maker; and at least 60% (by mass) of all reinforcing bar and mesh is produced using an energy reducing process in its manufacture (measured by average mass by STEEL maker annually).

7 Additionally, OneSteel Reinforcing can assist in the achievement of additional points under the Sustainable Products Credit 21. Under path 21C OneSteel Reinforcing can provide an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) - Product Reinforcing & Green Star STEEL Credit Points 6 OneSteel has a valid ISO 14001 Environmental Management System in place. OneSteel is a member of the World STEEL Association's Climate Action Programme. At least 60% of OneSteel Reinforcing STEEL is produced using Polymer injection Technology - an energy reducing process in manufacturing. At least 95% of all OneSteel Reinforcing REBAR and REOMESH meets or exceeds 500 MPa strength grade.

8 A 5% reduction in the mass of reinforcing STEEL used in the building when compared to standard more information on Green Star related products visit Engineered Reinforcing Bar Carpet (BAMTEC) - Reinforcing bars fabricated offsite for rolling out onsite. bars can be spaced to match original design intent. Engineered/Customised mesh (BARMAT) - Run-to-length, tailored Class N and high ductility, special size, engineered mesh, variable wire/bar diameters and spacings. Prefabricated Reinforcing Cages (PFX) - Prefabricated Reinforcing Cages for concrete elements such as slabs, walls, cores, columns, piles and beams.
