PCR plastics play an important role in waste reduction and energy conservation, contributing significantly to a cleaner environment. The HC Companies (HC) continues to strive for sustainability by incorporating an average of 50% recycled content with a minimum of 10% PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) content across all their horticultural containers. This aligns with the company's goals of providing environmentally friendly solutions tailored to the greenhouse and nursery industries, particularly in regions with more strict plastic focused environmental regulations, according to HC officials.
This initiative not only will integrate at least 10% PCR content across the majority of their product lines, but will also receive credible third-party certification to guarantee transparency in their supply chains.
In addition to PCR, HC also provides a selection of eco-friendly growing containers, including biobased materials, compostable plastics, and microplastic-free options, such as their Ecogrow and BioPax lines.
HC also serves as partners in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data and reporting support for horticultural containers
