Transparent Metal
Our industrial system for traceable & circular metal flows.
We connect our materials with verified data across our industrial value chain — from recovery to re-entry into industry.
System in motion
Hero reel · Transparent Metal
Industrial metal flows are complex and fragmented.
Materials move across multiple stages with limited visibility, inconsistent data, and little connection between physical flow and documentation.
Without structure, circularity cannot scale.
Transparent Metal provides our partners with the structural layer that makes industrial circularity verifiable, auditable, and operationally usable.
Traceable material flows across the value chain
Every input, transformation and output linked by a persistent material identity.
Verified data on origin, composition, processing
Captured in-line as material moves — not reconciled after the fact.
More predictable and structured material supply
Consistent quality and composition across flows — ready for industrial use.
Measurable and auditable sustainability impact
ESG and CSRD-ready metrics, reported from real material data.
From recovery to reuse — materials and data move together.
Our system is built around a continuous flow of materials and data. Each step is structured, documented, and linked — ensuring you have traceability from recovery to industrial reuse.
Collection
Our materials are collected from industrial sources, infrastructure, and post-use streams. Each input is categorized and prepared for structured processing.
Processing
Materials are sorted, refined, and processed into our defined material streams — ensuring consistency in quality and composition across flows.
Verification
Our material data is captured and structured: origin, composition, and processing — enabling traceability across our system.
Industrial re-entry
Our processed materials are returned to industry as verified circular raw materials — closing the loop between recovery and reuse.
Materials and data move together.
Across all steps, a continuous data layer connects your material movement with verified information. This enables traceability, consistency, auditability, and system-wide visibility — at industrial scale.
Every material flow connected to verifiable information.
Transparent Metal enables structured and verifiable data across industrial metal flows. Every material flow is connected to traceable information across our integrated value chain.
What is tracked
- Origin
- Composition
- Processing history
- Flow path
- Industrial application
What it enables
- Verified material reporting
- ESG and CSRD alignment
- Procurement transparency
- Improved material decision-making
- Lifecycle visibility
Data is not added after the fact. It is captured during each step of our material flow, ensuring consistency, traceability, audit readiness, and comparability across flows.
One system across industrial metal streams.
Transparent Metal applies across industrial metal streams and value chains. It structures how your materials move from recovery to industrial reuse across sectors and applications.

Grounded in real industrial systems — not theory.
Transparent Metal is built on decades of operational industrial experience across the full value chain.
Metal recovery
End-to-end collection across industrial sources.
Processing & refinement
Sorting, refining and producing defined streams.
Large-scale material logistics
Moving industrial volumes, reliably and traceably.
Cross-value-chain operations
Coordinated across partners, sites & sectors.
Circium — a verified industrial material output.
Our materials processed through Transparent Metal are delivered as certified raw materials.
Verified · Issued 2026·02·14Recycled aluminium, industrial grade
Traceable origin · Consistent composition · Audit ready
Verified across every batch.
- Verified origin
- Consistent composition
- Structured processing history
- Traceable data attached to each batch
This ensures usability in industrial applications where consistency and documentation are required.
Already applied in real material flows.
In collaboration with Gränges we have established traceability and verified data across selected metal streams — proof that structured industrial circularity works at scale.

Measurable impact across material systems.
By structuring and verifying our material flows, we enable meaningful, auditable circular outcomes — at industrial scale.
Increased reuse of existing resources
More material kept in industrial circulation, with verified quality.
Reduced dependency on primary extraction
Recycled streams substitute virgin inputs where feasible.
Improved efficiency across material systems
Less waste, less rework, tighter specification matching.
Measurable sustainability performance
ESG and CSRD-ready reporting from real material data.
