Tesco to go peat-free on all UK bedding plants to help environment
The supermarket will use wood fibre and natural by-products for the range from Monday.
A supermarket chain has said it will be the first UK retailer to go peat-free on its British-grown bedding plants in a move designed to lower its carbon footprint.
Tesco announced in March last year that it was reducing its use of the material by 95% from April 2022, and it will stop all use of peat in the range from Monday.
It said it would have made the move to a 100% peat-free range sooner, but a peat-free alternative was not available at the time.
