Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann GmbH (HKM), based in Duisburg, is an integrated steel company that produces pig iron and crude steel using the blast furnace–converter process. The company is part of a joint venture and primarily supplies its shareholders with high-quality semi-finished steel products in the form of slabs. The product to be declared is unalloyed and low-alloy crude steel in slab form ("Crude Steel Slabs"), which serves as a preliminary material for further rolling and forming processes in downstream production. The Environmental Product Declaration refers to a representative average of the crude steel produced in Duisburg and takes into account various input materials (scrap, alloying elements), which may vary slightly depending on the composition of each batch.
