  1. BasiQ Green • Classification-system, based on LCA’s • Materials classified on environmental-impact

  2. BasiQ Green • Evaluation of the environmental impact of alternatives in addition to peat • A transparent discussion, based on ratio • Peat-free shouldn’t be the ultimate goal, but an improved environmental balance

  5. LCA of white peat

  6. LCA of coir pith

  7. BasiQ Green Specific figures per raw material and place of issue

  8. Assessment of substrates weighing impact of product characteristics and production methods • LCA greenhouse - gasses • LCA human toxicants • Environmental care (e.g. ISO 14001) • Take back and recycle (when applicable) • Application of ‘Wise use guidelines Subject of this project (result certified peat-products)

  9. Product-classification Aenvironmental performance considerably better than the average B= avarage Cenvironmental performance considerably worse than avarage

  10. Outlook practical implementation? • Qualification of environmental impact is possible • Certified constituents (quality and origin) • Qualification of the functionality in development (lacking methods, specifications) • Avoid ‘disqualification’ of good products
