Peatland Protection Charter


Garden Center/DIY Store

This is to declare, that

recognises that the use of moss peat in horticulture and gardening has a finite future.
We will work progressively towards eliminating the use of peat without
compromising our product performance or customer satisfaction.
In order to play our part in protecting peatlands for future generations we agree to:

* Provide our customers with factual information about peat alternatives and the reason for choosing them

* Stock a range of alternatives to peat and peat based products

* Clearly label products that contain peat, and identify the percentage of peat in each product

* Not buy or sell peat moss that has been extracted illegally from bogs or from bogs of recognised ecological or conservation value

* Support the rapid development of facilities for composting domestic refuse and sewage

* Support the development and implementation of an Irish Strategy for the Conservation of Peatlands
