Requirements for sustainable products are increasingly being adopted by construction industry clients who now have a duty to know what has been done in their name. To achieve CARES sustainability certification, a reinforcing steel manufacturer's or processor's product as well as his quality and environmental management system must be assessed and approved by CARES. This includes assessment to the relevant product standard and to environmental issues such as global warming emissions and raw material use.rnReinforcing steel products produced by CARES approved firms are fully traceable throughout the entire supply chain, from hot metal to delivery of steel to the construction site. CARES requires an unbroken chain between the steel producer and the construction site, thus enabling the local end-user to know the production source and manufacturing processes used.rnAll reinforcing steels produced by CARES approved firms are uniquely identified.
