PROVEN SUSTAINABILITY 

ProCleanSorb is recognised as sustainable by the UK Environment Agency   

Pro Earth is committed to providing products that come exclusively from environmentally sound, sustainable sources. 


ProCleanSorb is formulated from a certified Canadian Veriflora®* sphagnum peat moss. Using our unique proprietary method, it is dried, blended, sifted and pH balanced to produce the best oil and chemical absorbent available today.  


In Canada, the industry collectively maintains and develops the best management practices. Supported by government, they are committed to ensure peat is a sustainable resource, that peatlands are responsibly managed and have adopted a strict Preservation and Reclamation Policy.   


 Environmental concerns about the harvesting and use of peat are largely based on misconceptions and practices that no longer exist. Here are the facts: 


  • In Canada, peat is accumulating more than 50 times the rate it is being harvested 
  • Less than 1% of Canadian peat bogs are being harvested
  • Careful harvesting techniques are used to make restoration easier
  • For example, plants that are removed at the opening of a bog for peat harvesting are collected and used for restoration of the closed site 
  • Over $5million has been invested in research into how bogs can be restored quickly 
  • Results show the restoration technique is successful and can bring back ecological functions in a relatively short-time period

*Veriflora is an American agricultural sustainability certification and eco-labelling programme, recognised as the gold-standard in the floriculture and horticulture industries. The programme is administered by SCS Global Services (SCS), a global third-party certifier of environmental, sustainability and agricultural product quality claims.
