Pork byproducts

Rendered fats and other pork co-products carry the measured performance of the hogs they came from. As with beef, the verified Tier 3 performance at origin attaches to the byproduct through mass balance and becomes a Carbon Inventory Certificate a buyer can retire.

Instrument

Carbon Inventory Certificate

Custody model

Mass balance from herd to byproduct

Where it lands

Scope 3, Category 1

01 · The path

Same rail, pork supply.

Origin · Hogs at source

Tier 3 measurement of the source herd — intensity and vintage recorded.

Transform · Processor & renderer

Mass balance carries performance across processing into the co-product.

Settle · Byproduct buyer

Retires the certificate into Scope 3, Category 1 against a specific purchase.

02 · Getting started

How a buyer attaches a CIC this cycle.

01 — Bring a byproduct purchase line.

Start with pork co-product volume you already source from a known processor.

02 — We map the supply shed.

The byproduct is traced back to the source herds whose performance is measured.

03 — Issue against verified performance.

Tier 3 data generates certificates with evidence, intensity, and vintage attached.

04 — Retire into your inventory.

The reduction settles in Scope 3, Category 1 — single-use, no double count.

Frequently asked

Pork byproducts, answered.

Does the pork pathway work the same as beef?

Yes. The instrument, the mass-balance custody model, and the registry are commodity-agnostic. Only the source measurement and the supply shed differ.

Can a processor participate directly?

Yes. Processors contribute custody: they record the transformation and allocation as the herd becomes co-product, which is what lets the buyer downstream inherit an audit-ready claim.

What supply is enrolled?

Enrolled supply sheds and issued certificates for pork byproducts are shown live in the public registry. Specific volumes for a given buyer are scoped during onboarding.
