Formula
Regenerative-practices bio-based feedstock share (%) = (M_regenerative-bio-based / M_total-bio-based) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. This is a distinct, standalone upstream sourcing percentage with a narrower denominator than total feedstock: bio-based feedstock only. It must remain separate from the overall bio-based-feedstock share because its construct, denominator, and regenerative-practice qualification differ. No shortlisted existing metric matches those attributes.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
M_regenerative-bio-based | Bio-based feedstock from regenerative practices mass | Mass or weight of bio-based feedstock for the reported material type that was produced using regenerative agricultural or forestry practices. | same mass or weight unit as M_total-bio-based |
M_total-bio-based | Total bio-based feedstock mass | Total mass or weight of bio-based feedstock for the reported material type. | mass or weight |

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Define the criteria used to classify feedstock as bio-based.
- Define the regenerative agricultural or forestry practices used for classification.
- Disclose whether weight or mass is used and apply the same basis to numerator and denominator.
- Disaggregate the result by material type and disclose the bio-based-feedstock denominator population.
Record-specific limitations
- The extracted evidence does not specify a reporting-period convention.
- The extracted evidence does not define regenerative agricultural or forestry practice criteria or an assurance basis.
- The metric is conditional on the organization’s classification of feedstock as bio-based and is not a share of all feedstock.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
