Feedstock Balance
Explore how collected feedstock and recovery losses affect a physical input balance.
PHYSICAL SCENARIO
Follow usable output.
Starting values are examples. Product quality and acceptance criteria must be assessed separately.
METHOD
A physical balance, with limits.
No allocation, certification or emissions claims.
Usable recovered output = collected mass × efficiency fraction. Applied secondary input = the smaller of usable output and required input. Remaining input = required input − applied secondary input. Surplus usable output is shown separately.
The share is applied secondary input divided by total required input. It is not a certified recycled-content figure. The model assumes suitable quality and compatible processing; it does not account for repeated loops, allocation or changes in product composition.
