Chain of Custody Credit Allocation Ledger Audit Procedures
Verify credit allocation ledgers by auditing dock scale moisture corrections, empirical conversion yield factors, and the rolling 24-month expiration limit.
BALed Waste Disposal Log
Ledger Record
Industrial tracking documents record the weight, grade classification, origin mill, and transfer destination of compressed fibre off-cuts generated during packaging converting. A baled waste disposal log registers each physical bale created at the trim baler along with associated batch numbers and moisture measurements. This accounting system verifies that secondary recovered fibre leaves the converting facility under accredited chain-of-custody protocols.
Material Accounting
Baled material is weighed on calibrated floor scales before loading onto transport vehicles. The baled waste disposal log captures net weights and moisture deductions for every shipment. Pulper yield calculations depend directly on these recorded figures to establish actual dry-fibre recovery rates.
When mill waste is reprocessed, inaccurate bale weights introduce error into raw material efficiency ratios. Systematic entry of mill origin codes prevents contamination of high-yield virgin pulps with unbleached secondary trim. Facility operators use logged data to reconcile total paperboard tonnage received against finished carton output.
Audit Boundary
Regulatory audits inspect disposal records to confirm compliance with post-industrial recycling thresholds. The baled waste disposal log applies strictly to bound trim and rejected rolls, excluding loose floor dust or chemical effluent. Processing halts when unrecorded bales move to transport areas without logged tags.
Verification fails if third-party hauler signatures are missing from the ledger.
