Data supplier to everyone
Automotive, construction, machinery: your customers need melt, origin and carbon data for their own evidence — everyone asks differently, many at once.
Industry solution
Digital Product Passport for iron & steel
Steel is an intermediate product in the first ESPR working plan — and your buyers need your data for their own passports. Passenta makes your mill disclosure-ready.
Where your industry stands
In the first ESPR working planThe ESPR working plan 2025–2030 prioritises iron and steel as an intermediate product: requirements and passport duties will be specified by delegated act. In parallel, CBAM already demands robust emissions data in trade — and every buyer with their own passport duty will request your product data.
As of July 2026. Regulatory information summarised to the best of our knowledge — not legal advice; the EU legal texts prevail.
What the industry is dealing with
Carbon becomes a commodity
CBAM, customer targets, green lead markets: emission values per batch decide over orders. Unsubstantiated figures fail audits.
Batches instead of catalogues
Melts, batches, coils: evidence attaches to production lots, not catalogue articles — that needs structure instead of a folder archive.
What Passenta takes over
Disclosure-ready at a click
Product data, mill certificates and emission values sit structured on the product; you answer customer requests with a link or disclosure package instead of Excel battles.
Evidence with validity
Certificates (e.g. EPDs, mill certificates) attach with expiry dates; the gap report shows what's missing before the customer notices.
Involve upstream tiers
Scrap, alloys, precursors: suppliers worldwide contribute via link — in their language, without an account.

Frequently asked questions
When does a passport obligation apply to steel?
The first ESPR working plan prioritises iron and steel; the concrete duties and dates are set by the delegated act currently in preparation. There is no fixed date yet — the prepared use the lead time for their data base.
What does CBAM have to do with it?
CBAM already requires emissions data for steel imports into the EU — the same data that will later end up in the product passport. Captured once in a structured way, it serves both requirements.
We are a supplier — do we even need our own passport?
Even without your own passport duty you become your customers' data supplier. Passenta makes you disclosure-ready: structured product data, evidence and a disclosure package that answers key-account questionnaires in minutes.
