MetricResource use and circular economy

Waste-derived feedstocks assessed against higher-value uses

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Reports the volume and share of waste-derived materials used in fuel production that have been assessed against waste-hierarchy and cascading-use principles, including the amount for which energy recovery is considered the optimal use.

Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. This is a standalone additional-sector structured reporting metric. Its two reported fields, volume and proportion, describe the same assessed feedstock population and are retained together rather than treated as separate metrics. It is not equivalent to generic waste-generated or location-assessment metrics in the shortlist.

Verified sources

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.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • Describe the waste-hierarchy and cascading-use criteria used to assess waste-derived feedstocks.
  • State the denominator used for each reported proportion.
  • Disclose the basis on which energy recovery is determined to be the optimal use.
  • State the material scope of waste-derived inputs included in fuel production.

Record-specific limitations

  • The source specifies both volume and proportion but does not prescribe a common denominator for the proportion.
  • Assessment criteria and interpretation of waste-hierarchy and cascading-use principles should be disclosed.

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.
