General description #
The mass balance principle describes a process by which companies/business units gradually transition from the use of fossil raw materials to recycled and/or renewable feedstock. Mass balance is all about combining fossil and recycled/renewable resources in already existing systems while tracking their quantities and allocating them to specific products. This entire process enables the use of traceable recyclable or renewable raw materials, allocating quantities to the product and thus verifying the use of sustainable sources.
Mass balance in Qbil #
Mass balance in Trade was designed with such business units in mind that use the mass balance mechanism in their factories. The module allows for the tracking of the entire process as well as the verification of the products as sustainable.
This entire mass balance process is accomplished in various steps and can be tracked using the multiple screens of the Mass balance module such as transfers, productions, reconciliations, etc. You can also add the various feedstocks (certificates) and scopes associated with your products using the feedstocks & scopes. Qbil-Trade also provides a variety of reports related to processes and an overview of the mass balance to assist you in tracking the position and flow of recyclable/renewable feedstock.
