Which scope covers the common effluent plant a Vapi chemical unit pays for?
Effluent you send to the common treatment plant is waste generated in operations, Scope 3 category 5. The plant's own energy and emissions are its Scope 1 and 2, not yours. Your own pre-treatment plant's power stays in your Scope 2.
What to record
Volume sent each month, from the CETP bill.
Any factor the CETP provides per kilolitre, with its basis.
If no factor is available
Report the volume and mark the line as a gap. A rupee fee alone is not a reliable activity measure.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads the energy invoices behind the making stage into a fingerprinted Scope 1 and 2 record, and keeps material invoices on the Scope 3 trail. Material factors come from your supplier or a named database and are labelled with their source, so the product figure can be traced line by line.
