  1. Source: Carbon Footprint of Product of Reinforcing Bars: Steel and Proxxima™ Resin containing Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) in Construction Applications, May 2025, prepared by ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company. The study was conducted to be in accordance with ISO 14067:2018 (Greenhouse gases – Carbon footprint of products – Requirements and guidelines for quantification). The study was confirmed to be conducted according to and in compliance with ISO 14067:2018 by an independent third party (Sphera Solutions, Inc.) critical review which followed ISO 14071:2024 to support comparative environmental footprint communications as defined in ISO 14026:2018.
