Sustainability

A waste, residue, recycled or renewable description is not enough on its own. Classification and eligibility depend on the product, generating process, origin, destination and intended use.

Where a sustainability scheme applies, the certificate holder, scope, validity, material category and chain-of-custody route should be checked. Turco & Co does not issue or replace scheme certification.

Collection, production, processing, storage and transfer records should support the origin and status claimed for the material. Proof of Sustainability and Union Database records may be relevant to certain EU renewable-fuel routes.

Environmental benefit, waste status and emissions claims should follow the applicable methodology and evidence. If the chain cannot be supported, the claim should not be used in the commercial file.
