With an eco-story that can’t be matched, British organic peat-free brand, RocketGro is proud to lead the race to become climate positive by the end of 2025.

RocketGro is on the precipice of a significant moment, not just for the Somerset peat-free business but for the industry as a whole. 

Forget greenwashing and broad claims by companies about being sustainable, no other brand can deliver what RocketGro is doing; actively putting carbon back in the ground, powering thousands of homes with renewable gas, and encouraging consumers to embrace greener gardening practices by creating outstanding peat- and coir-free organic growing media.

Let’s break this down – the RocketGro business model means:

• 6,000 acres of farmland carefully and sustainably managed without using chemical fertilisers
• 25,000 tonnes of food waste processed each year, turned into biogas and fed back onto the farmland to grow more crops
• 91,000 tonnes of crops processed each year, turned into biogas and used as the core ingredient in RocketGro composts and growing media products.
• 3,300 homes powered by renewable green electricity every day – equating to 27,522 tonnes of carbon not being produced every year!
• 8,000 homes powered by green biogas every day! Equating to 180,384 tonnes of carbon not being produced per year.
• The bagging and bottling lines are run on 100% renewable energy produced on site

Managing Director Toby Thomas said: “We are on a carbon capture journey: growing the crops at our farm, which we use to create our amazing products, along with renewable energy to power more than 13,000 homes – it’s all one virtuous circle! 

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that every time a gardener buys a bag of RocketGro compost, they are actively taking carbon out of the atmosphere! Retailers say they want to do more to be sustainable and we are leading the charge in greener gardening, so if you’re not already stocking RocketGro products, why not?”
