Six UK supermarkets have already committed to taking action on paraquat. It highlights that this move is feasible and doesn’t need to lead to a loss in productivity.
Lidl, M&S and Waitrose have added paraquat to their prohibited lists, whereas Asda and Co-op have added it to their phase out lists. Tesco, the supermarket with the largest UK market share recently committed to a ban with a timescale to be confirmed.
