Industry Voices
Trusted by manufacturers, laboratories, and operators worldwide
Equipment manufacturers, accredited laboratory partners, and procurement professionals on how IWRREC certification supports their work.
“IWRREC certification through their Munich laboratory partner gave us the independent performance data municipal buyers demand. Our certified shredder is now specified in tenders across twelve European countries — something proprietary datasheets alone could never achieve.”
Dr. Klaus Weber
Chief Technical Officer
European Waste Equipment GmbH, Germany
“Having our digester tested at an IWRREC-accredited laboratory in Pune meant we didn't need to ship equipment overseas. The verified gas yield data from independent testing opened doors to municipal projects that require third-party certification.”
Priya Sharma
Director of Quality Assurance
GreenTech Digesters India Pvt. Ltd.
“The IWRREC certification process was rigorous but fair. Our membrane upgrading system achieved 98.2% methane purity under standardized test conditions — credentials that procurement bodies across Latin America now recognize and require.”
Carlos Mendez
Head of Engineering
BioGas Solutions América Latina, Brazil
“As an IWRREC-accredited laboratory partner, we conduct machinery testing under Council protocols with full confidence in the standards. The accreditation program ensures consistency across the global network, benefiting both manufacturers and operators.”
Dr. Sarah Chen
Laboratory Director
Pacific Testing & Certification Ltd., Australia
“We only procure IWRREC-certified equipment for our sorting and processing facilities. The independent laboratory verification gives us confidence that performance claims are real, not marketing — and that safety systems meet international standards.”
James Oduya
Procurement Director
East Africa Recycling Technologies, Kenya
“IWRREC's Safety & Compliance certification for our gas storage systems simplified regulatory approval in three new markets. The standardized testing protocols and public certification registry are exactly what regulators need to evaluate imported equipment.”
Yuki Tanaka
Regulatory Affairs Manager
Nippon Gas Equipment Corporation, Japan
