Ending The Sale Of Peat: Scottish Government Consultation - Deadline 12 May 2023

24th April 2023

Our proposal -
We are proposing to ban the sale of peat in stages, beginning with the retail horticulture sector (peat sold to amateur/hobby gardeners), which accounts for around two thirds of all peat used in UK horticulture. We would then widen the ban to the sale of peat for professional horticulture. This might be achieved by applying a general ban on the sale of peat (for all purposes) with exemptions, some time-limited to allow for transition.

The consultation deadline is 12 May.
