William Sinclair has taken significant steps to capitalise on its position as the most environmentally responsible manufacturer in the horticultural market. The peat content of many of our growing media has been reduced through the development of a unique means of using material that would otherwise go to landfill and the J. Arthur Bower’s 70L Multi-Purpose Compost was the first in the gardening market to display an independently calculated carbon footprint.
