DPP for aluminium
The most recyclable metal, ready for a passport
Why aluminium is among the first with a passport
Aluminium is one of the most carbon-intensive materials to produce from primary ore, yet also the most recyclable — it can be reprocessed indefinitely with about 5% of the energy. Exactly this combination puts it at the centre of the EU's sustainability policies and among the first product groups for which a Digital Product Passport is coming.
Its requirements intertwine with CBAM and with the framework of ESPR →
What the passport contains
DPP for aluminium
Key points
Infinitely recyclable
Aluminium recycles with no loss of quality, at ~5% of primary energy — the passport makes that value visible.
High carbon stakes
Primary aluminium is among the most carbon-intensive materials; the footprint becomes a key competitive advantage.
CBAM covers aluminium
Importing aluminium into the EU falls under the carbon border mechanism — embedded-emissions data is needed.
ESPR and a delegated act
Aluminium is on the EU's ecodesign work plan; a delegated act will set out the passport requirements.
Multi-sector
Construction, automotive, packaging, aerospace — one material, many chains, each needing data.
Data is slow to collect
Footprint, recycled content and origin are not gathered in a week — preparation starts early.
Is your aluminium data ready?
We help producers, foundries and processors structure their carbon-footprint, recycled-content and origin data — and turn it into a ready passport.

Frequently asked questions
Aluminium is on the EU's ESPR work plan; the specific requirements and date will come with a delegated act. Preparation starts before the date, because the data is slow to collect.
Importing aluminium into the EU falls under CBAM — the carbon border adjustment mechanism. The embedded-emissions data needed for CBAM overlaps with the passport.
Mainly: carbon footprint, share of recycled content, alloy and composition, origin and supply-chain traceability.
Yes. Recycled aluminium has a drastically lower footprint; documenting it in the passport is a real market advantage.
For producers, foundries, processors and importers of aluminium and aluminium products who sell on the EU market.
We structure your footprint, recycled-content and origin data and turn it into a registered passport, ready for the day the obligation starts.
