Summary

Aside from lab and manufacturing growth, Tamara Lowney emphasized sustainability and peat-bog reclamation work at APT, inviting tours and saying the full reclamation story is not visible without visiting the site.

Lowney framed the expansion as part of a larger story about sustainability and reclaiming bog lands used in peat production. "I do think there's also this great story about sustainability and reclamation that's happening within the bog as well," she said, and she encouraged listeners to visit APT and see the operations and reclamation work firsthand.

The company invites tours led by founder Doug Green, which Lowney said are a way for the public to see how production and reclamation interact. She emphasized that the expansion is about more than building capacity: it is also an effort to show the community the full lifecycle of peat production and the steps APT takes on environmental stewardship.
