ENplus® celebrates 1000 certified companies

We are happy to announce that ENplus^® has reached a significant milestone. As the world-leading certification scheme for wood pellets, we now have a total of 1000 active certificates of companies in 46 countries around the globe.

By being recognised and embraced by such a substantial number of producers, traders, and service providers, ENplus^® has proven to be a major factor on the global wood pellet market. Today, more than ever, quality is considered to be the most valuable characteristic of the entire supply chain.

Withdrawal of fraudulent pellet bags from Polish market due to illegal use...

The European Pellet Council (EPC), alongside the National Licensers (NLs) and National Promoting Associations (NPAs) of ENplus^®, continues to place significant effort and resources into combating all reported fraudulent uses of the protected “ENplus^®” trademark, as well as following-up closely on all types of ENplus^® related non-conformities.

ENplus® implemented a special surveillance project to verify quality

Therefore, ENplus^® Management conducted a special surveillance project which aimed to analyse ENplus^® certified bags taken randomly from the market.
