Tesco will make a huge change to its bedding plants range next Monday.
The UK supermarket has pledged to become the first to go peat-free on its British-grown bedding plants in order to reduce its carbon footprint. Tesco is to cut its use of the material by 95% across its range from Monday.
It has vowed to remove all peat from the range in 2023, with the residual peat in this year's plants used by the retailer's seedling suppliers during germination. Tesco is one of the UK's largest sellers of bedding plants, with about 40 million sold each year.
