When it comes to quality and safety, there are no differing opinions.
What counts are independent facts and figures.

Our growing media stand for highest quality worldwide. They are the essential basis for plant growth and success of our customers. Our innovations are decisive for an entire industry. The standards by which we measure our quality and our processes are not only set by ourselves. All key areas at Klasmann-Deilmann are regularly and independently audited and certified in accordance with international quality standards:

  • Consistent quality assurance of our growing media along the entire value chain, from raw materials to production sites to the finished product.
  • Quality and origin of all substrate constituents used in our products
  • The quality of our ProLine Substrates for organic growing as well as conformity with applicable requirements of national and international organic associations

  • Constructive measures for environmental protection and renaturation, in particular rewetting of peat fields as well as emission reductions in our production processes
  • Our verified carbon footprint
  • A holistic sustainability strategy with regard to economy, ecology and social responsibility

This enables us to improve our processes continuously and provide our customers with the security and sustainability they expect from us.

Peat extraction areas

“Responsibly Produced Peat” (RPP) is a transparent certification system for responsible peat extraction and better protection of natural peatlands. At the end of 2021, 86% of our extraction areas were RPP certified. This means that 89% of our peat raw materials currently come from RPP-certified sites.

Quality assurance

The quality assurance of our growing media complies with the stringent guidelines of the Dutch RHP quality mark for substrates. In addition to peat raw materials, this also applies to our alternative substrate constituents such as TerrAktiv® green compost, our GreenFibre® wood fibre, coir, perlite etc.
