Aluminium with nothing to hide

“Our ambition to build a functioning circular economy is what drives us. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the decarbonization of our products. It also includes transparency across our production processes and business operations,” explains Hendrik Heck. “Our Speira culture shapes the way we work together internally and with our partners and valued customers. This approach enables us to stay one step ahead when it comes to sustainable solutions and ESG compliance,” says the Head of Strategic Projects and Digital Transformation at Speira.

In detail, speira.ID provides information for each individual coil on its origin (cast house, casting date, batch number, rolling mill), its total recycled content, its carbon footprint in kg CO₂ per kg of aluminium, its input mix (including shares of used beverage cans, post-consumer scrap, pre-consumer scrap, internal ORBIS scrap, alloys and recycled alloys, runaround scrap, and primary metal), as well as its chemical composition.

speira.ID simplifies traceability and unlocks new insights. After logging into Speira’s customer portal, customers can select a specific coil and download its corresponding speira.ID passport. For maximum convenience, bulk downloads are quick and easy. Thanks to an integrated data flow, all information is always up to date and immediately available. This service can be integrated into the customer’s supply agreement, ensuring maximum transparency and efficiency.

With customer consent, a light version of the digital product passport can be made available online and accessed easily via a QR code, which can, for example, be printed directly on the finished product. No login credentials are required. A single scan provides transparency for our customers and their customers, helping to build trust throughout the value chain. “We firmly believe that this is the level of transparency our customers expect and that we are prepared to provide. In the future, this approach will become the standard for traceability, accountability, and responsible corporate governance. By embracing this, our data creates trust,” explains Heck.
