Digital Product Passport for metals

Steel, aluminium, copper - CO2 footprint, recycled content and conflict minerals decide market access.

Industry challenges

Metals have two DPP engines:

  1. ESPR rule: as with other products, from 2029
  2. CBAM mechanism: from 2026 importers must supply CO2 data - from the third country to the EU border

CBAM requires annual declarations from 2026, ESPR static DPPs. Both data sources have to fit together - contradictory figures cost money.

Required data

What goes in the DPP for Metals?

The key data fields required by the relevant EU regulation.

CO2 footprint

Cradle-to-gate per tonne, with a clear statement of method and primary data.

Recycled content

Scrap share in the primary process, secondary-process rate stated separately.

Conflict minerals

Due-diligence evidence under EU Regulation 2017/821.

Origin

Smelter location, rolling mill, certificates (ResponsibleSteel, ASI for aluminium).

Our approach

Transpareo for Metals

Transpareo unites both worlds:

  • CO2 data in CBAM structure as maintainable fields per tonne and batch
  • Store and reference ResponsibleSteel and ASI evidence in the DPP
  • Multi-stage smelter and rolling-mill data representable via component hierarchies
  • Conflict-minerals evidence as a document attachment per component
