To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps his Department is taking to phase out the use of peat in garden compost.
The Natural Environment White Paper set out our ambition to end the use of peat through a voluntary partnership with the horticultural sector by 2030.
The Government response to the Sustainable Growing Media Task Force report was published in 2013 and is available to view on the gov.uk website. It set out where our resources will be focused over the next few years to assist in the transition to sustainable growing media and reduced peat use. We are committed to working with the industry to deliver the roadmap towards sustainable growing media and to overcome the barriers to peat reduction. For example, we are supporting the development of a performance standard and criteria for responsibly sourced and manufactured growing media.
A policy review will take place in 2015 to assess the delivery of the roadmap and to identify further actions necessary.
