Dobbies has re-affirmed its commitment to becoming peat-free over the next year.

The group says bagged peat will be de-listed in all 69 centres from 2021.

Meanwhile, the industry is awaiting the government’s proposed peat strategy document, which is being compiled following consultation with the industry, other stakeholders and campaigning organisations.

The industry’s new Responsible Sourcing Scheme for growing media producers is due to launch this year.
