This is an administrative allocation method that tracks raw material flows within the production chain. On this basis, a proportion of bio-based raw materials is allocated to a product. This method is mainly used for chain assurance and the certification of raw material flows.<\/p><p>In short, the C14 method analyses the end product, whilst the mass balance method tracks the raw material flows within the supply chain. Both methods have their own applications, but whereas the mass balance method relies on administrative allocation, the C14 method measures the actual proportion of renewable carbon present in the end product.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0014629 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0014629\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why clear information about bio-based raw materials is important<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b52572f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b52572f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nowadays, when comparing products, people often look beyond technical performance alone.<br \/>Information on raw materials, composition and the measurement methods used is also playing an increasingly important role in specifications, project dossiers and product comparisons.<\/p><p>That is why it is not enough for information to be merely available.
