Recycling Evidence

How do you keep scrap revenue separate from sustainability figures?

Short answer: Treat them as two views of the same sale, with the sustainability figure based on weight and material recovered and the financial figure based on the money received, and keep them in separate columns that both refer to the same docket, because mixing them makes both harder to audit and a change in prices can make revenue move while the tonnes stay the same.

Two views of one sale

The tonnes show environmental impact and the dollars show income, and neither should stand in for the other.

Why prices move independently

A fall in prices can reduce revenue even if you recycle more, so reporting only the money could hide good performance.

One docket, two columns

Linking both figures to the same document keeps them consistent and traceable.

How ScrapTrade Fits In

ScrapTrade records the weight and the payment of each trade, which feeds both columns.

Good evidence starts with the sale. ScrapTrade records the material, weight, buyer and payment of each trade, with verified buyers and escrow-protected payments.
