“We are driven by our purpose to build a circular world that works. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the decarbonization of our products – it also includes full transparency in all our production processes and business operations,” explains Hendrik Heck. “Our Speira culture shapes the way we work internally and with our partners and valued customers. This way of working enables us to stay one step ahead in terms of sustainable solutions and ESG compliance,” so Speira’s Head of Strategic Projects and Digital Transformation.
In detail, speira.ID shows for each specific coil its origin (casthouse, casting date, batch number, rolling mill), its overall recycled content, its carbon footprint in kg CO2 per kg Al, its input mix (shares of e.g. used beverage cans, post-consumer scrap, pre-consumer scrap, internal ORBIS scrap, alloys and alloys recycled, runaround scrap, and prime metal), and its chemical composition.
speira.ID provides a milestone in traceability and unlocks unparalleled insights. After logging in Speira’s customer portal, the customer selects a specific coil and downloads its speira.ID. For maximum convenience, mass downloads are quick and easy. Thanks to an integrated data flow, all information is always up to date and instantly available. This service can be integrated into the customer’s supply agreement – delivering maximum transparency and efficiency.
With the customer’s consent, a light version of the digital product passport is available online and can be accessed easily via a QR code which can be e.g. printed on the finished product. No credentials needed, just one scan delivers transparency to our customers and theirs, driving trust along the value chain. “We truly believe that this is a level of transparency that our customers want, that we are willing to provide, and that will soon be standard in traceability, accountability, and stewardship. Acknowledging that, our data creates trust,” explains Heck.
