ISCC - International Sustainability and Carbon Certification’s Post

Why do we need mass balance❓    In a nutshell, because it tracks certified materials along the value chain through verified bookkeeping. Moreover, it makes it possible to attribute the sustainability characteristics of the certified input materials correctly to the output. All this is possible, although the certified materials have been mixed with non-certified feedstock in the chemical production process. 💡    Let's go one step back: In chemical production processes, input materials of different origins and characteristics, such as certified recycled materials and fossil feedstocks, are often mixed. Once mixed, these materials cannot be told apart anymore.   Luckily, using mass balance can help. Thanks to its methodology, the certified amount of material can be attributed to the output, even though the feedstock might not be physically in the end product.   That's the short version, read the full story here 📖 : https://lnkd.in/e4RmvvXZ    #Massbalance #chainofcustody #transparency #sustainability #ISCC
