The Independent Peat Expert Working Group (IPEWG) was established to help APRIL fulfill the commitments in its Sustainable Forest Management Policy (SFMP 2.0) related to its peatland operations. In 2021, the IPEWG held three meetings, its fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth, which discussed peatland research and APRIL operational updates. The meeting reports can be found in the links provided.
Method
Waste disposed is recorded through various means of measurement including estimation of weight by waste type. Particular waste types as described above are measured as a wet waste and converted to a bone dry (BD) weight. The wet waste weight is multiplied by the consistency of each waste type to determine the BD. The consistency is predetermined by the lab.
