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.
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.
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.
