Complete steel traceability for the automotive industry
SustainTrack implements blockchain technology to certify the traceability of recycled materials, such as scrap metal, in the automotive and steel industries. This ensures that recycled materials used in vehicle manufacturing come from verified sources, promoting transparency throughout the supply chain. In partnership with Barna Steel, the project boosts the circular economy by certifying the use of recycled steel in the production of automobiles, contributing to sustainability in both sectors.

Technology
SustainTrack's challenge
One of the main challenges of SustainTrack is to effectively integrate the blockchain system into the supply chain of the companies involved. This requires close collaboration between all participants to ensure traceability of recycled scrap. It is critical to protect the security and privacy of sensitive data, such as license plates and vehicle VINs. In addition, companies must be willing to adopt blockchain technology, which may require training and support. As the project moves forward, it will also face scalability challenges, requiring an infrastructure capable of handling large volumes of data and transactions.
What solution is required?
SustainTrack employs blockchain technology, utilizing the platform CircularTrust based on Hyperledger Besu, to certify the traceability of recycled materials in the automotive supply chain. The solution includes customized software that allows companies to record and verify information from dismantled vehicles, transforming them into recycled materials for the manufacture of new automobiles.
Funcionalidades de SustainTrack
