Aluminium with nothing to hide – Transparency through digital product passports
Bar ohne Namen
Entschlossen verweigert sich Savage, der Bar einen Namen zu geben. Stattdessen sind drei klassische Design-Symbole das Logo der Trinkstätte in Dalston: ein gelbes Quadrat, ein rotes Viereck, ein blauer Kreis. Am meisten wurmt den sympathischen Franzosen dabei, dass es kein Gelbes-Dreieck-Emoji gibt. Das erschwert auf komische Weise die Kommunikation. Der Instagram Account lautet: a_bar_with_shapes-for_a_name und anderenorts tauchen die Begriffe ‘Savage Bar’ oder eben ‚Bauhaus Bar‘ auf.
Für den BCB bringt Savage nun sein Barkonzept mit und mixt für uns mit Unterstützung von Russian Standard Vodka an der perfekten Bar dazu.
- Speira introduces speira.ID, a digital product passport for aluminium coils
- The system brings sustainability, origin and composition data together in one place.
Speira has introduced speira.ID, a Digital Product Passport designed to improve transparency across its aluminium products.
speira.ID is a Digital Product Passport that provides all essential details about each unique coil in one place – from carbon footprint and recycled content to chemical composition and input mix. The system is designed to be simple and precise.
“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,” says Hendrik Heck, Head of Strategic Projects and Digital Transformation at Speira “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,” he adds.
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 is intended to improve traceability and access to product data. After logging in to Speira’s customer portal, the customer selects a specific coil and downloads its speira.ID. 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 adding 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 printed on a finished product. No credentials are required. A single scan provides access to selected product information for customers and downstream partners. “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.
Key features of speira.ID End-to-end data flow: Instead of isolated systems, speira.ID connects the entire value chain – from the production to the finished coil, supporting a circular economy.
- Digital identity for every product: Each coil and each sheet is provided with a unique Digital Product Passport that bundles all relevant data. This enables transparency and traceability in real time.
- Future-proof service offering: As regulatory requirements increase, companies are expected to provide more proof of sustainability, origin, and CO2 emissions. Speira positions speira.ID as a way to reduce paperwork, less administrative effort, but compliance and improved reporting.
