Mahoney Environmental achieves dual ISCC certifications

Mahoney Environmental Solutions LLC has achieved International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) for both EU and Carbon Offsetting Reduction Scheme for International Aviation programs.

The Woodridge, Illinois-based company has more than 70 years of experience helping food service companies transform used cooking oil and other waste products. As a subsidiary of Finland-based Neste, Mahoney serves food service operators nationwide and manages equipment installation, waste collection, processing and finished product delivery.

The certifications enable Mahoney to formally verify that its collected used cooking oil qualifies as genuine waste and residue under international sustainability standards, the company says. According to Mahoney, the ISCC certifications also are crucial for fuel manufacturers who need certified feedstock to produce renewable fuels and biofuels that meet EU renewable energy requirements and international aviation carbon offset standards. 

“The ISCC Certification opens doors to new markets and creates competitive advantages by showing compliance with increasingly stringent sustainability regulations,” Dave Kimball, CEO and president of Mahoney, says. “Also, it provides third-party verification of responsible sourcing practices, builds trust with buyers and positions Mahoney as a reliable partner in sustainable supply chains.”

Mahoney also adds that the ISCC certifications help address the growing demand for verified sustainable materials as airlines work to meet carbon reduction commitments and governments implement renewable fuel standards. 

“For feedstock providers like Mahoney, the ISCC certification transforms our feedstock into a verified sustainable commodity that commands better prices and secures long-term contracts with environmentally conscious manufacturers,” Brian Murphy, finished product sales manager at Mahoney, says.
