Biobased polymer feedstocks must exclude palm and soy and be traceable waste or residue or scheme-certified, with chain of custody by at least mass balance. Evidence the scheme asks for: declaration by the producer of the polymer, that palm oil, soybean oil and soy flour are not used as raw materials for the biobased polymer. An independent assessor checks it. This relates mainly to ecosystems and nature.
