Preserve material continuity through processing and changes in ownership.

Recycled content and recovery

Connect recycled-content claims to feedstock records and material accounting.

Carbon and environmental evidence

Make environmental figures traceable to their underlying production data.

Prepare for aluminium Digital Product Passports

Connect product identity, alloy specifications and supplier documentation in maintained material records that can feed future passports and downstream product requirements.

Substantiate origin, recycled content and carbon claims

Link sourcing and production locations, scrap inputs and emissions data to the records and calculation methods needed for regulatory disclosures and customer assessments.

Preserve traceability through processing

Keep material data connected through casting, rolling, extrusion and recycling. Share relevant evidence with customers and authorised partners while protecting confidential supplier and production information.

What Circularise covers

Reliable aluminium information starts before the finished product

Aluminium can pass through refining, smelting, remelting, casting and multiple processing stages before reaching a customer. Primary metal, purchased scrap and production scrap may enter the same process, while alloy specifications, emissions data and sourcing records remain in separate systems.

Circularise connects supplier evidence with material, production and product records, enabling teams to reuse information for passport preparation, sourcing assessments and regulatory documentation.

Aluminium passports and downstream product information

Build the material record behind future aluminium DPP requirements, linking product identity with composition, production history and supporting evidence.

Maintain connections between intermediate materials and downstream products, such as vehicle components, construction products and battery materials. Their respective obligations depend on the product and applicable legislation; an aluminium record does not automatically fulfil a finished product’s passport requirements.

Explore Digital Product Passports

Origin and manufacturing claims

Connect material origin with the facilities and processes involved in its production. Keep refining, smelting, casting, processing and recycling locations linked to supplier declarations and transaction records.

Give procurement and commercial teams evidence for sourcing decisions, customer origin requests and claims about European production. Customs origin must still be determined under the applicable rules; a supplier’s address alone does not establish it.

Explore metals and critical raw materials

Carbon and production evidence

Collect installation, production-route, energy and emissions information from the suppliers that hold it. Connect these records to the relevant aluminium products and reporting periods.

For covered aluminium imports, organise evidence needed by the responsible CBAM declarant. Retain separate calculation methods and boundaries for CBAM embedded emissions, product carbon footprints and customer environmental declarations.

Recycled aluminium and material recovery

Trace recycled inputs through remelting, alloy adjustment and subsequent processing. Maintain evidence of scrap origin, classification, quantities and the method used to calculate recycled content.

For automotive supply chains, connect this information to vehicle manufacturers’ preparation for recycled-content declarations and future aluminium targets under the ELV Regulation. Preserve alloy and treatment information that helps customers and recyclers assess recovery options.

Implementation workflow

Collect once. Maintain the connections. Share for each purpose.

Aluminium data changes when feedstock, alloy recipes, production sites or processing routes change. Establish a workflow that keeps material records connected to the evidence used by procurement, production, sustainability and compliance teams.

  1. 1

    Collect required data

    Map information needs to product families, production sites and suppliers. Request alloy specifications, origin records, recycled-input quantities and environmental evidence, then review completeness and follow up on gaps.

  2. 2

    Connect the material record

    Link incoming metal and scrap to production batches, transformations and outgoing products. Preserve supplier evidence, quantities, processing losses and calculation methods through casting, rolling, extrusion and subsequent manufacturing.

  3. 3Controlled sharing

    Share the right information

    Provide approved information through product passports, data carriers, APIs and controlled partner access. Prepare the required identifiers and registration information while protecting confidential supplier, process and transaction data.

Aluminium data model

Prepare aluminium data that answers more than one request. Link material specifications, sourcing records and production evidence to the products supplied, creating a consistent basis for passport preparation, carbon reporting and procurement decisions.

Material identity and origin

Identify the aluminium supplied and substantiate its provenance.

  • Product form, alloy designation, grade and composition
  • Cast, heat, batch and product identifiers
  • Feedstock origin and refining, smelting and casting locations
  • Supplier declarations, material certificates and origin documentation

Production history and chain of custody

Preserve material continuity through processing and changes in ownership.

  • Suppliers, production facilities and processing routes
  • Links between input materials, production batches and outputs
  • Quantities, yields, processing losses and transaction records
  • Connections to supplied sheets, extrusions, castings and components

Recycled content and recovery

Connect recycled-content claims to feedstock records and material accounting.

  • Primary metal, purchased scrap and internal process returns
  • Scrap origin and pre-consumer or post-consumer classification
  • Recycled-content calculations, accounting periods and allocation rules
  • Alloy, coating and contamination information relevant to sorting and remelting

Carbon and environmental evidence

Make environmental figures traceable to their underlying production data.

  • Production volumes, energy consumption and energy sources
  • Process emissions and relevant upstream data
  • Calculation boundaries, methodologies and allocation rules
  • Carbon-footprint, environmental declaration and CBAM evidence, including verification where required

Aluminium FAQ

What is an aluminium Digital Product Passport?

An aluminium DPP is a digital record connecting a material or product to its identity, composition and required sustainability information. Linking these data to supplier evidence and production history creates a reliable basis for passport disclosures, carbon reporting and customer requests. The aluminium-specific rules will determine which information must be included and who can access it.

Does aluminium’s critical raw material status create another passport obligation?

Critical raw material status does not create a separate, universal aluminium passport. It does reinforce the importance of knowing where aluminium is sourced, processed and recycled. Connecting this information to suppliers and material flows gives companies evidence for supply-risk assessments, sourcing diversification and origin verification, alongside preparation for product passports.

How do aluminium records relate to batteries, construction products and packaging?

Aluminium data feeds into the information downstream manufacturers need: composition and carbon-footprint evidence for batteries, performance and environmental documentation for construction products, and material composition and recyclability evidence for packaging. Keeping that evidence connected through processing allows customers to use it for their own declarations and product records, applying the relevant calculation and disclosure rules.

Does traceability prove recycled content or make aluminium suitable for reuse?

Traceability provides the evidence needed to substantiate recycled-content claims by connecting scrap origin, input quantities, processing records and calculation methods. Linking alloy composition and quality-test results to the same material record also helps customers assess suitability for reuse or further processing. Claims and material suitability still depend on the applicable methods and assessments, with the supporting evidence available for customer review and audits.
