The members of the European Peat and Growing Media Association, EPAGMA, have agreed and committed themselves to start using commonly agreed labelling standards on their professional horticulture products. The harmonised standards will provide consumers across Europe with more complete and transparent information.
EPAGMA encourages other companies in the growing media sector to use these harmonised standards.
