HydraFiber earns growing media international quality certification

RHP is a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands that manages and develops the RHP quality mark. The knowledge center's mark increases the security that substrates meet the quality requirements for water uptake, air content, pH, EC, and nutrients. The RHP quality mark is the world's most stringent quality standard for the growing media industry. By choosing products with the RHP quality mark, a grower has more security that their growing media will be consistently clean and safe for their culture and perform as expected.

"This certification is a testament not only to the hard work the team puts in each and every day, but also the quality of HydraFiber itself," says Jennifer Neujahr, Senior Director of Business Development at Profile, said. "RHP has certified HydraFiber to be used up to 50% by volume in substrates, which is higher than any other comparable substrate. We've always known HydraFiber is a quality raw material, but this certification lets new and existing customers know that too."

The rigorous certification process includes lab analyses and grow tests to identify if any weeds, pests, and other pathogenic organisms are in the product. Each phase of the growing media process is monitored, from raw material extraction to processing and delivery, to ensure standards are met. Only phytosanitary, raw materials of known origin are used in certified products.
