Introduction to ISO

Standardization work

Thamar Zijlstra – consultant NEN

What is a standard?

Agreement

• 3 principles: all parties concerned + transparant proces + consensus

Reliable and up-to-date information that is recognised by stakeholders

Standardization organisations are the neutral process facilitators


ISO – international organisation for

standardization


ISO/PC 308 – Chain of Custody

Brainstorming Sessions Feedback

Towards Consensus!

8 of December 2020

Goal of the Session

• Summarize and report on where we are after the two brainstorming sessions

• Not duplicating technical discussions during the present meeting

• Inform people who did not participate

• Remark: synthetic views expressed in the presentation are not “final decisions”, they might not reflect the specific views of each participant

Agenda

• The brainstorming sessions context

• Feedback from session 1 – “Mass Balance” scope

• Including link with “Book and Claim”

• Feedback from session 2 – Recycling issues

• Q & A

The Brainstorming Sessions Context

• Work in addition to PC 308 work

• Exchange on key mass balance issues

• Prepare content to provide to PC 308 – this presentation will be shared to PC308

• Get contributions and feedback from a large panel of experts

• Attract additional experts for future PC 308 WG

• Contribute to align views in order to increase the level of consensus

Reminder: Proposed Introduction of the Future Mass Balance Standard

• “The mass balance model is a chain of custody model in which materials or products with specified characteristics are mixed or co-processed with materials or products without some or all of these characteristics, resulting in a claim on a part of the output proportional to the input

• For example, Mass Balance can enable a gradual shift from fossil to circular and/or biobased economy to drive a real and positive transformation of the economy. The mass balance chain of custody can be used to support an incremental use of material waste and bio-based content. In that case, fossil feedstock would be replaced within the process

• In order to drive the development of new processes and new raw materials needed for a positive transition to a circular and bio-based economy and overcoming the challenges of segregation of feeds, consistent mass balance methods and calculations are needed to have a clear transparent communication through the value chain, which is possible for consumers to understand

• The credibility of a particular Mass Balance application is ensured by reliable verification of claims which will be elaborated within the standard”

Reminder: Proposed Scope of the Future Mass Balance Standard

• “This standard provides requirements and guidelines for the application of the Mass Balance Chain of Custody model defined in ISO 22095 to any material input or process, including how to allocate inputs and outputs to products of such processes.

• This standard addresses

• Allocation of materials inputs

• System boundaries

• Granularity level of the system process, site, group

• Conversion factors rules (including creation and retirement of credits)

• Traceability principles depending on the nature of material input

• Recommendations for the use of Mass Balance within LCA

• Communication of claims”

1. Agenda

2. Atmosphere

3. Key outputs

1. Initial Agenda for Session 1

• Balancing period (3 or 12 months or?)

• “Mass Balance” vs. “Book and Claim” – physical link?Traceability makes the differentiation with book and claim

• Which “level of detail”: batch, process, site, groupChemical Traceability issue

• “Transfer” within a company – to be defined, including with the coverage

2. Atmosphere of Session 1

• 14 of October 2020, from 13h30 to 15h30 CEST

• Virtual meeting

• 22 participants

3. Key Outputs of Session 1 – Mass Balance Standardization Work Overall Goals

• “System to support circular economy, and sustainable circular economyThis system should be acceptable by NGO and brand owners”

• “Towards more sustainable sourcingMarket need strong link to sourcing, more than Book and Claim”

• “Show the value added of specific materials/productsGoing further than Book and Claim”

3. Key Outputs of Session 1 – Traceability

• Notion of “physical traceability” and “chemical traceability”

• Various existing definitions, including in schemes

• Not easy to define

• Both terms need to be precisely defined during the PC 308 work

• Both definitions will be used during the standard writing – then they need to be appropriate to chain of custody work

3. Key Outputs of Session 1 – “Mass Balance” and “Book and Claim”

• Not an easy topic to address

• Continuum between “Mass Balance” and “Book and Claim”

• The standard will define acceptable gradation between both terms

• Clarifying grey zones

• Not putting too much constraints as a start

• For credibility stake, specific claims should

• Clearly reflect what has been made

• Be clear enough to understand what is made

• Convey a common meaning to all audiences

• E.g. purchasing a commodity (e.g. electricity) from a centralized market with a “Guarantee of Origin” is “book and claim”

3. Key Outputs of Session 1 – Group Level

• Rules for “Mass Balance” at group level needs to be specific to ensure traceability

• “Mirroring” between plants of the same company

• To avoid adding transportation impacts (trucks…) between plants

• No double counting

• Clear traceability rules shall be set and verified

• Clarifying boundaries

3. Key Outputs of Session 1 – Balancing Period

• Balancing period as in ISO 22095

• Short (6 months) and long (5 years max.) period can be appropriate

• The standard will give clear guidance on the balancing period, and define how to implement in the context of Mass Balance

Feedback from Session 2

1. Agenda

2. Atmosphere

3. Key outputs

1. Initial Agenda for Session 2

• Differentiation pre- and postconsumer scraps

• Recycled content calculation

• Chemical Recycling Definition

2. Atmosphere of Session 2

• 24 of November, from 13h30 to 15h30 CEST

• Virtual meeting

• 25 participants

3. Key Outputs of Session 2 – Differentiation between Pre- and Post-Consumer Materials

• ISO 14021 definitions on pre- and postconsumer materials are pre-existing and will be used

• Other standards use similar definitions

• These definitions are general and can be specified in future Mass Balance standard

3. Key Outputs of Session 2 – Chemical Recycling Definition

• Reference can be done to ISO 15270 – Guidelines for the recovery and recycling of plastics waste – which goes for revision next year

• European level work exist at CEN/TC 249/WG 11

• Preparation Q1 of 2021

• Potential presentation on the topic by Kristin Olofsson during future ISO/PC 308 work

3. Key Outputs of Session 2 – Recycling Rate Calculation

• No consumables or energy is integrated in the calculation of recycling rate

• Sector specific approach recommended for integration of pre-consumer material in the calculation

• Being consistent at sector level

• Traceability (see session 1) is key, including clear definitions of source materials

• Claims shall be precise on what is done

3. Key Outputs of Session 2 – Points for Recycling Rate Calculation

• Needed by certification bodies

• Confidentiality will be managed by them

• The ratio inputs/outputs is specific per process

• Request transparency on where measure is done

• Common requirements for given process families

• Existing rules at European level can be re-used when relevant

• Number of recycling before the calculation is not relevant for this calculation belonging to a chain of custody standard

3. Key Outputs of Session 2 – Recycled Content Calculation in a Chain of Custody

• Definition of ISO 14021 will be specified in the scope of a Chain of Custody work

• From ISO 14021 - “Proportion, by mass, of recycled material in a product or packaging. Only pre-consumer and postconsumer materials shall be considered as recycled content”

• Combine European work and ISO work, having on mind the speed of work

• Avoiding contradiction

Perspectives

• The current content will be provided as input to PC 308

• Maybe more experts will register to PC308 meetings, sent by the member countries?! Welcome!
