Designed With The Future In Mind

Stelrad Radiators is offering the first UK manufactured 90% green steel Compact radiator range.

With sustainability a primary focus here at Stelrad, we know that our customers are also continuously looking for sustainable products for their homes and buildings. The Stelrad Green Series is the next step in our commitment to provide greener radiators, helping our customers to contribute directly to reducing atmospheric CO₂. This range will help to ensure homes across the UK can be powered by radiators made with clean green steel.

Why should I buy a Stelrad Green Compact?

• The Optemis® Carbon Lite steel used contributes to a reduction in atmospheric CO₂
• Optemis® Carbon Lite insetting scheme is certified by DNV to prove the steel has 90% lower embodied CO₂ emissions at source
• The Optemis® Carbon Lite steel is produced by renewable energy and manufactured in the UK by Tata Steel
• Revenues from the sale of Optemis® Carbon Lite certificates are used to fund projects generating further CO₂ savings to be verified by DNV, speeding up decarbonisation
• Radiators are 100% recyclable, with zero plastic used for the outer packaging.

How much CO₂ is being saved per radiator?

• Saving 50kg of CO₂ emissions for a typical radiator
• Savings are equivalent to driving a small car for over 250 miles for each radiator
• Enabling Stelrad to meet Scope 3 targets and declare low-embodied-CO₂ products

From Spring 2024, there will be 60 horizontal models to choose from, which can be identified by the Green Series branding.

ZERO PLASTIC WILL BE USED FOR THE OUTER PACKAGING

• Stelrad are already improving the packaging across all products and all panel radiators are currently shrink wrapped with plastic made from 30% recycled plastic. However, for the Green Series the plastic has completely been removed and the new Green Compact is transported within cardboard and paper only.

• The Stelrad Green Compact is safely secured within a sturdy cardboard box rather than shrink wrapped with plastic corner protectors. It’s high gloss paint finish is protected inside the box by tissue paper to reduce movement and avoid scratches, and the fixing kit has been switched from a plastic bag to a small envelopebox.

• These packaging materials are entirely reusable or recyclable by the customer so there is also less packaging waste.

IN SHORT

Tata Steel is supplying UK made 90% Carbon Lite steel exclusively to Stelrad within the radiator market, so that Stelrad customers can choose a Green Compact radiator range that contributes directly to a reduction in atmospheric CO₂ today and accelerates decarbonisation in the future.

Tata Steel is a UK leading strip steel manufacturer with steelmaking facilities in Port Talbot in South Wales. The steel comes with a certificate from DNV – Det Norske Veritas to prove the steel has 90% lower embodied CO₂ emissions. The process for producing the steel is called Optemis® Carbon Lite.

All revenues generated by the process are reinvested to fund additional projects, thereby generating further CO₂ savings to be verified by DNV and speeding up decarbonisation efforts within the UK.

The new Stelrad Green Series comprises of 60 horizontal models from our Green Compact range. The concept is already being well received by many of our customers who are keen to see more sustainable products being utilised in their homes and buildings. As well as the reduction in carbon emissions, no plastic will be used for the outer packaging either further increasing the sustainability claims of the product range – and of course, a radiator is 100% recyclable.”

The new radiators will come with a new identity and strapline – “Stelrad Green Series – Made with clean green steel”. Customers purchasing a green radiator from the new Stelrad Green Series will be saving the equivalent expenditure of driving a small car over 250 miles per radiator purchased.

Chris Harvey says “This is an important next step for us to provide products that are guaranteed to be lower in carbon emissions at every stage of their production and that all come with certificated guarantees as to the ‘green’ element certified by our partners Tata Steel who are also keen to be identified with the sustainability claims that go with the steel we use in these radiators.
