The RPP label implies that the certified peat in the growing medium product comes from RPP certified peat extraction fields. The peat has been produced in compliance with stringent criteria on peatland selection, extraction and responsibilities for the area after use. The RPP certification scheme does not allow peat extraction from valuable peatlands with High Conservation Values, nor negative impact on these areas. In addition, it strongly prioritises extraction from degraded peatlands and restoration after extraction. Peat producing companies and locations are always assessed by an independent inspector.
Foundation Responsibly Produced Peat is a European organisation where international parties from peat industry, NGOs and scientists are involved. RPP has established a reliable, transparent certification system for responsible production of peat which is used as a valuable constituent for growing media.
