RHP aims to improve continuously the development of knowledge and insight in raw materials. Also much attention is paid to risk management and quality improvement. These subjects request an active quality policy (in the form of company visits by the technical advisors of RHP), risk analysis and corrective and preventive measures.

Quality mark for substrates

RHP manages the quality marks RHP (for substrates, growing media, potting soils) and RAG (for green roof substrates, soil supply and soil improving materials). RHP optimises and assures the quality of these certified products. Products with the RHP quality mark are stable and increase the opportunity of an optimal nutrient medium significant.

The quality marks stand for:

  • Safe. The whole chain, from the production process through the user, is controlled.
  • Clean. RHP certified substrates are carefully produced and intensively checked to see whether they are phytosanitary clean, so free of harmful organisms and diseases.
  • Quality assurance. Substrates with the RHP quality mark comply with the severest requirements for instance in the field of storage.
  • Lacking weeds. Substrates with the RHP quality mark are lacking weeds.
  • Research/knowledge center. Because of (innovative) research, the substrate demonstrably complies with the various quality standards. Agreements between grower and substrate supplier are checked with specifications.
