Home Hardware gets serious about environmental sustainability

St Jacobs - Coconuts are combating the climate crisis across Canada this growing season. Three new 100% renewable, high-performing gardening products made from coir (pronounced "koi'er") have hit the shelves at Home Hardware nation-wide. Natura brand BeyondPeat, BeyondMulch, and BeyondTwine out-perform conventional alternatives and are promoting environmental sustainability.

For example Beyond Peat is a better-performing peat moss replacement made from 100% premium coconut coir. Coir is fast gaining international notoriety for its eco-friendly horticultural applications. Many growers have been using coir with great success for years.

Little known to many consumers, the harvesting of peat moss contributes to the releasing of 10% of total global greenhouse gas emissions every year caused by the exploitation of peat bogs.
