10% PCR content in horticultural containers

It's crucial for the horticultural industry to reduce waste and conserve energy to protect our environment. That's why the HC Companies has introduced a guaranteed minimum of 10% PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) content on average into their line of horticultural containers.

"PCR plastics are crucial in our collective efforts to create a cleaner, greener future. By incorporating a minimum of 10% PCR content within the 50% post-industrial recycled material we've been using for many years, we're leading the way for sustainability in our industry. This move not only aligns with our dedication to environmental stewardship but also simplifies compliance for businesses operating in regions with stringent plastic-focused regulations," the HC Companies team explains.

Alongside PCR plastics, the company offers a diverse range of eco-friendly growing containers, including biobased materials, compostable plastics, and microplastic-free options like our Ecogrow and BioPax lines.

"In addition to innovative sustainable products, we're proud to offer support in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data and reporting for horticultural containers. With credible third-party certifications and expert guidance, we help our partners navigate the complexities of ESG reporting, further enhancing their commitment to sustainability," they add.
