Eramet, a major French mining and metallurgical group, recently launched eraLow, its low-CO₂ Manganese Alloy brand, to accelerate a more sustainable steel value chain. eraLow offers one of the lowest CO₂ intensity for manganese alloys on the market, produced under the highest ESG standards in the industry, and full transparency along the entire value chain thanks to eraTrace, Eramet’s unique traceability service powered by Tilkal.
Introducing eraTrace: The Power of Modern Traceability for Metals
Understanding how materials are made and their sustainability impact has long been a challenge in the industry. eraTrace, built on Tilkal’s blockchain-based traceability platform, changes that by providing transparent ESG data to Eramet’s customers at every step of manganese alloys’ supply chain.
Christel Bories, Chair and CEO of Eramet:
“The launch of eraLow embodies our commitment to providing our customers with a clearly identified solution contributing to the decarbonization of the steel industry. With eraLow, we offer our customers not only manganese alloys with one of the lowest CO 2 footprints on the market; we offer them also the opportunity to build trust and transparency throughout their entire value chain.”
Thanks to eraTrace, every eraLow order is backed by a Digital Product Passport, giving Eramet’s customers complete visibility into their purchases. This data is auditable, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations and ESG commitments (DPP, EU Battery Regulation, ESPR - Eco-Design for Sustainable Products Regulation, etc.).
