tracking sustainability

The EU Directive 2009/28/EC as well as its incorporation into the German body of law in the form of BioStNachV and BiokraftNachV presents a problem for companies and individuals that produce, process, or trade with sustainable raw materials: in order to satisfy legal requirements, and to obtain and especially keep the interface certification, all movements of raw materials after the last interface have to be seamlessly documented in a mass balancing system, and reported to the Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food. Anyone trying to get certified at this point will soon realise that the inventory management that had been used until now does not constitute a mass balancing system within the meaning of the ISCC, and that such a new system will have to be implemented. This is generally associated with a lot of effort and expenses. In addition, the daily amount of work required to manage the incoming and outgoing values and to analyse and report them, is significant, since until now, there was no IT-based solution.

This is where track&certify comes in. The software that was developed by EUFEX with a significant amount of assistance from a certification agency is explicitly geared towards the processing of data in a mass balancing system. The user easily and seamlessly documents the entire supply chain in compliance with the law, regardless of whether the raw materials are delivered by the oil mill next door by tank-truck, or by boat from Indonesia. track&certify manages both fully sustainable as well as mixed partially sustainable raw materials, and determines the greenhouse gas values and the resulting greenhouse gas reduction potential for every shipment.
