Collect supplier evidence
Structured data and documents from producers, processors, recyclers and component suppliers.
EU Critical Raw Materials Act 2024/1252
Trace critical raw materials from source to product
Collect multi-tier supplier evidence, trace material flows and share CRM data, without exposing sensitive supply-chain information.

Know your CRM exposure
Which materials, from where, through which suppliers.
Reuse evidence everywhere
One record for regulators, customers, audits and procurement.
What Circularise covers
CRM traceability is only as strong as its evidence
The label or disclosure is the last step. The hard part is finding critical materials across products and suppliers, and verifying origin and recycled content.
See the workflowTrace critical material flows
Link materials to sites, batches, transformations and products in an auditable chain of custody.
Share verifiable information
Give customers, auditors and authorities the proof they need. Keep sensitive data private.
Apply evidence across markets
Reuse origin and end-use proof for incentives, trade controls and strategic procurement.
Implementation workflow
From scattered evidence to a maintained CRM data system
Build one ongoing workflow instead of collecting data again for every assessment or request.

What to do now
The question to answer
Where does each critical-material data point come from, and can it be verified?
- 01
Confirm your scope
Identify critical and strategic materials in your products, and which CRMA or customer requirements apply.
- 02
Prioritise upstream evidence
Start with extraction, processing and recycling data. It is the hardest to reconstruct later.
- 03
Prepare product-level data
Find products with permanent magnets and assign owners for composition, recycled content and dismantling data.
- 04
Connect systems and access
Plan ERP, PLM, LCA and procurement integrations, and separate public, customer, auditor and authority access.
- 05
Plan for international trade
Reuse origin, processing and end-use evidence for sourcing incentives, trade controls and procurement.
Frequently asked questions
What is a CRM Passport?
A practical term for a digital record of critical-material and supply-chain information. The CRMA does not create one universal passport. It sets specific data-carrier requirements for products with permanent magnets, while other information may be needed for risk assessments, recycled-content disclosure, due diligence or connected product passports.
Who is directly affected by the CRMA’s company requirements?
Article 24 applies to identified large companies manufacturing specified strategic technologies with strategic raw materials. Articles 28 and 29 apply to anyone placing covered products with permanent magnets on the EU market. Suppliers often need to provide the underlying material and production data.
Which products are covered by the permanent-magnet requirements?
Article 28 currently covers MRI devices, wind-energy generators, industrial robots, motor vehicles, light means of transport, cooling generators, heat pumps, electric motors (including integrated motors) and specified household appliances. Some exemptions and later dates apply.
Can CRMA information go into an existing Digital Product Passport?
Yes. Where a product already needs a passport under another EU act, Article 28 requires the permanent-magnet information to be included in it. Avoid building a separate data system per regulation.
Is all CRM information publicly accessible?
No. Some recycled-content information must become public. Other data is meant for repairers, recyclers and authorities, and supplier evidence can stay protected through role-based access, selective disclosure or third-party attestations.
