Circium · A Transparent Metal
Recycled aluminum. Fully traceable. Nordic-made. Every ingot carries its past with it.
01 · The idea
Every kilogram of Circium aluminum has a past. Cable collected in Telemark. Electronics sorted in Tønsberg. Aggregated in Katrineholm. Reborn as an ingot in Grängesberg.
No mines. No primary smelt. Just the metal that was already here, given another life.
02 · Impact
86%
less carbon than primary aluminum
(16.5 kg CO₂e / kg baseline)
94%
post-consumer recycled content
ISO 14021 verified
98%
renewable energy
Nordic hydropower
03 · Material

Before
Cable scrap, WEEE, post-consumer aluminum

After
Circium ingot, EN AW-6060 grade
Aluminum loses nothing when it is recycled. The same atoms that ran through last decade's cables can hold tomorrow's buildings. We just keep them moving.

04 · Energy
Powered by Nordic hydropower. Real numbers from real meters. Verified through EPD reference EPD-NG-0231-2026
05 · Where it goes

Automotive structures
Body-in-white, crash structures, wheels

Battery cooling
Heat exchangers, thermal management
