How Growscape Is Going All-in on Sustainable Pots

By Brian D. Sparks|September 10, 2026

In April 2025, The HC Companies and Classic Home & Garden merged and united under a new brand: Growscape. Rooted in the brand idea of ‘growing together,’ Growscape represents a one-stop shop solution for horticulture growers, retailers, and distributors. The company combines eco-efficient U.S. manufacturing expertise in injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, and blow molding for grow pots, decorative containers, and backyard décor, all complemented by a global sourcing network with a long-term, proven track record of delivering sustainably designed and manufactured products in a variety of materials to its partners.

Growscape aims to lead the industry in innovation through a new product development process, focused on delivering consistent breakthrough and exclusively sustainable innovations in both grow pot and decorative container categories.

In August, I was fortunate to tour Growscape’s manufacturing and shipping facility in Middlefield, OH. At the heart of the tour was ReTerra, Growscape’s first-of-its-kind plantable bioplastic solution engineered for greenhouse and nursery applications. ReTerra combined the functionality of traditional plastics with the environmental benefits of bioplastics. ReTerra pots can be produced from 4-inch to 1-gallon sizes, and are designed to be placed directly into the ground with the live plants.

ReTerra is the end result of Growscape’s EarthSafe Sustainability Platform, which brings together:

ReAssure, Growscape’s commitment to advancing leadership in supporting regulatory compliance, post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials and long-term sustainability
The expanded ReSource Recycling Program by Growscape
ReTerra, developed in exclusive partnership with Kaimarra Advanced Materials

Together, these three initiatives establish Growscape’s focus in regulatory compliance, recycling infrastructure, and patented, next-generation material science to fully meet the demands of today’s market and prepare its customers for what is coming next (you can find Growscape’s full 2026 Sustainability Report here.
