Circular Steel Traceability
Traceability and origin certification of CELSA's circular steel for the automotive sector
Context
In the steel industry, the use of recycled materials is becoming increasingly essential. The European regulatory framework, especially the Proposal for a Regulation on circularity requirements for vehicle design and on management of end-of-life vehicle and the new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), will play a pivotal role in implementing digital product passports like CiruclarPass. This creates a strong demand for comprehensive traceability of products and materials, reaching upstream to trace information from the source of origin and raw materials all the way to automotive companies and final users. CircularPass is the solution implemented by CELSA to deliver precise, digitized, and transferable sustainability information across the entire supply chain for steel automotive sector.
CELSA offers its automotive sector customers a digital passport for steel products
that encompasses detailed information on product specifications, quality, and sustainability
The Solution
Each product manufactured by the company has a unique digital identifier that provides access to all the information contained in the CircularPass digital passport. CELSA has developed distinct digital passports for each of its products, tailored primarily by their specific sustainability indicators. This approach emphasizes the unique qualities of each product, actively engaging buyers in CELSA's commitment to sustainability. For CELSA, it’s a clear demonstration of their dedication to offering progressively sustainable and circular products, reinforcing their business model centered on circularity.
