KZR Certification

A Testament to Quality and Sustainability

Worrell Harvesting is dedicated to operating at the highest environmental and quality standards, ensuring that its biomass harvesting processes are both efficient and sustainable. In 2023, the company achieved KZR REDII Certification, a prestigious European industry-recognized accreditation that signifies compliance with stringent sustainability and renewable energy regulations.

What is KZR REDII Certification?

KZR REDII Certification is an internationally respected certification framework that verifies the sustainability, traceability, and legality of biomass and biofuel production. This accreditation ensures that all biomass sourced and processed by Worrell Harvesting meets the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) requirements, which are essential for promoting sustainable energy solutions while minimizing environmental impact.

The Certification Process

Achieving KZR Certification is no small feat. The process involved a rigorous external audit of Worrell Harvesting’s systems, policies, and operational procedures. Independent auditors assessed various key areas, including:

• Sustainable Biomass Sourcing – Ensuring that all biomass materials come from responsibly managed forests and comply with sustainability criteria.
• Carbon Footprint & Emissions Compliance – Verifying that harvesting operations align with emissions reduction targets and contribute to cleaner energy solutions.
• Supply Chain Transparency & Traceability – Implementing strict protocols to track biomass materials from the source to final processing, ensuring full accountability.
• Regulatory Compliance – Meeting all European and international legal requirements for biomass production and trade.
