How do you track scrap volumes so they can be used in a sustainability report?
Short answer: Record every sale in a single register with date, material, weight and buyer, total it by month and year, and keep the register consistent in units and categories, because a reliable report depends on being able to say how much of each material left your business and being able to trace each figure back to a document.
