Use Cases for Co-Products and By-Products Management
1. Monetizing By-Products in Chemical Manufacturing
By-products, often considered waste, can be repurposed or sold to generate additional revenue.
- Identify high-value by-products that can be sold in secondary markets.
- Reduce disposal costs by repurposing by-products for use in other manufacturing processes.
For example, a chemical manufacturer may sell sulfur as a by-product of their production process to fertilizer companies, creating a profitable revenue stream.
2. Ensuring Compliance with Environmental Regulations
Environmental regulations often require detailed documentation and responsible handling of by-products.
- Automate compliance tracking and reporting to meet regulatory standards efficiently.
- Use audit-ready reports to demonstrate adherence to environmental guidelines during inspections.
This ensures manufacturers avoid legal penalties and maintain their reputation for environmental responsibility.
3. Optimizing Resource Utilization in Multi-Output Production
Chemical manufacturing processes often generate multiple outputs, requiring efficient resource allocation.
- Allocate costs and resources accurately across all outputs to improve financial clarity.
- Track production data to identify opportunities for process optimization.
This helps businesses maximize the value of their inputs while minimizing waste.
