SIA Hawita Baltic, the Latvian subsidiary of Hawita Group, has secured RHP Horticulture certification for its substrate raw material peat. This certification proves the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality peat for horticultural use. The official handover took place at the IPM fair in Essen, Germany, a key event for the global plant industry.
Peat plays a crucial role in horticulture, especially for growers seeking consistent and safe substrates. With this certification, Hawita Baltic strengthens its position as a trusted supplier in the UK and European markets.
RHP Certification: A Guarantee of Premium Peat
Not all peat meets strict horticultural standards, but RHP-certified peat does. This certification ensures quality, safety, and sustainability from extraction to delivery. Peat marked with the RHP quality label comes from inspected peat bogs, ensuring purity and reliability.
To maintain certification, companies must undergo regular inspections. These checks confirm that the peat structure, pH levels, and water retention properties meet RHP’s strict guidelines.
This assures UK growers that their plants will thrive in a stable and disease-free environment.
Stricter Standards Elevate Peat Quality and Safety
Achieving RHP certification is no easy feat. The process involves rigorous testing and compliance with high standards. One of the key factors is transportation—peat must be moved under controlled conditions to prevent contamination.
With this certification, Hawita Baltic can guarantee peat free from human pathogens, plant diseases, nematodes, weeds, and other contaminants. This is particularly important for UK horticulturists who rely on safe and stable substrates for their crops.
By securing RHP certification, Hawita Group continues to raise the bar in horticulture quality standards. This milestone reinforces its dedication to providing top-tier peat for growers across Europe and the UK.
