Holland Scaffold Supply | HSS - CBAM

CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism)

The European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is one of the most important sustainability measures introduced in recent years. The aim is to reduce global CO₂ emissions and promote fair competition between European and non-European producers. The regulations have a direct impact on the import of steel and aluminium products into the EU, including materials used in scaffolding systems, such as tubes, couplers and construction profiles.

At Holland Scaffold Supply, we closely follow all developments surrounding CBAM. Thanks to our extensive experience in international sourcing and our long-term partnerships with manufacturers worldwide, we ensure that our customers are fully compliant with the new requirements, without any administrative hassle or supply disruptions.

What is CBAM?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a policy tool designed to prevent "carbon leakage" – the relocation of production to regions with less stringent climate rules. CBAM imposes a CO₂ tax on imported products from sectors with high energy consumption and high carbon emissions, including aluminium, iron and steel.

The system ensures fair competition by creating equal environmental standards for EU and non-EU producers. Importers are required to report the embodied CO₂ emissions of their imported materials and to purchase CBAM certificates that reflect these emissions since 1st January 2026.

CBAM has been in a transitional phase (2023-2025). During this period, companies are required to submit quarterly reports on the carbon footprint of their imports, although no financial levy is yet applied. From 2026, the mechanism will become fully operational and importers will have to pay the carbon border levy.

The impact on aluminium and steel

Scaffolding materials such as aluminum and galvanized steel tubes require a lot of energy to produce. Products from regions that are heavily dependent on fossil fuels (such as coal or natural gas) generally have a higher carbon footprint and therefore higher CBAM costs. Materials that are produced using renewable energy sources such as hydropower or solar energy, on the other hand, benefit from lower emissions and lower costs.

How Holland Scaffold Supply supports you

 

At Holland Scaffold Supply, we understand that CBAM can be complex and time-consuming. That is why we take the entire process off our customers' hands.

We take care of all CBAM-related obligations, including quarterly reports, documentation and future emission levies. Our team collects and validates all necessary production data directly from our global partners; such as energy sources, emission profiles and origin data to ensure full transparency and compliance.

Since 2026, we are taking care of the payment and administration of CBAM certificates, with fully transparent cost structures that clearly display all CO₂-related components. Each shipment comes with full material traceability and certification (EN 10204-3.1), ensuring a seamless audit trail from production to delivery.
