Geneva, 5 June 2014 \u2013\u00a0\u201cAs an international certification system, RSB is appropriate for any feedstock in any country thus works very well along the entire supply chain,\u201d says David Frohnsdorff, CEO of Ennovor. \u201cThe RSB certification will enable Ennovor to demonstrate strict compliance with EU and international sustainability standards\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEnnovor\u2019s commitment to feedstock traceability fits very well with the robust RSB approach to waste verification. We are very pleased that Ennovor has chosen RSB to demonstrate the sustainability and greenhouse gas savings of their biodiesel and that RSB-certified waste-based biodiesel will be now be available in the UK,\u201d said Rolf Hogan, RSB\u2019s Executive Secretary.<\/p>\n

Ennovor is one of Europe\u2019s largest sustainable biodiesel producers. It uses an online \u2018digital chain of custody\u2019 record for every consignment of biofuel it trades. Ennovor\u2019s focus is on converting natural and recovered oil and fats, such as used cooking oil (UCO) recovered through its global supply chain, into UCOME biodiesel.<\/p>\n

The RSB is a European Commission approved system for the certification of biomaterials including biofuels. Based on 12 key principles, RSB provides a holistic approach towards sustainability assurance, covering social, environmental, economic and operational aspects in its analysis.<\/p>\n

A recent report by the World Wide Fund (WWF) ranked RSB as the best performing scheme out of the 13 schemes included in the analysis. According to the IUCN, the RSB standard has been identified to cover \u201cmore sustainability criteria, with greater detail, and with more breath in terms of level of assurance than any of the other Voluntary sustainability schemes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) is a global sustainability standard and voluntary certification system for biomaterials production. The RSB standard represents a consensus of over 100 organizations around the world including farmers, refiners, governments, UN agencies and NGOs. It is designed to ensure the sustainability of biomaterials production while providing user-friendly tools for industry to demonstrate compliance. RSB certification validates sustainable production including greenhouse gas emission reductions, respect for human rights, protection of biodiversity and water and maintenance of food security. RSB is a full member of the ISEAL Alliance, which defines codes of good practices for standard-setting organisations. To find out more about RSB\u2019s standard, membership, or certification.<\/p>\n
