Summary It is fair to say that considering production , emissions for stainless steels are only partly informative . There are two high-level production systems at play , both of which are necessary to support the global demand for stainless steels . Over the coming years , the production emissions associated with Nickel Pig Iron ( NPI ) will progressively fall as greener technologies for the production of NPI become widely adopted . Furthermore , the life cycle emissions associated with using stainless steels offer a different and more compelling perspective for the benefits of using sustainable and resilient materials . Selecting materials that do not degrade and equally do not require significant maintenance and / or partial replacement presents a different and much lower emissions profile .
