BFA Methodology

The BFA Methodology is a two-tier assessment tool for biobased plastic feedstocks. It begins with an 'Executive Level Screening' for high-level risk identification and viability, followed by a 'Survey Level Screening' that utilizes 13 environmental and social indicator data sheets for in-depth supply chain analysis and the identification of mitigation strategies.

• The BFA Methodology employs a two-tier screening process: an initial 'Executive Level Screening' for high-level qualitative assessment to identify risks and screen out non-viable feedstocks, followed by a 'Survey Level Screening' for more detailed analysis.
• The second tier of the methodology, the Survey Level Screening, requires users to evaluate specific feedstock and region combinations against 13 environmental and social indicators to determine the extent of risks in the supply chain and confirm mitigation activities.
• The 13 indicators used in the assessment cover a broad range of environmental and social factors, including GHG Emissions, Land Use Change Impacts, Food Security, Labor Rights, and Local and/or Indigenous Communities.
