Tesco has pledged to become the first supermarket to go peat-free on its British grown bedding plants in order to reduce its carbon footprint.
It has vowed to remove all peat from the range by 2023. Tesco sells about 40 million bedding plants each year.
This will reduce the carbon footprint of these products by more than 1200 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions a year - a reduction of 75 percent - the retailer said.
