Good management practices
Supply chain management
Traceability throughout the supply chain enables each player to source sustainable products from any certificate holder
All relevant elements of the supply chain must obtain a certificate in order to handle sustainable materials. For final products processed from agricultural feedstocks or crop residues the first two relevant elements of the supply chain are the farm or plantation and the first gathering point, also known as country elevator. For final products derived from alternative raw materials, such as wastes or residues the first two relevant elements of the supply chain are the point of origin and the collecting point.
