HC Companies Introduces 10% PCR Content in Horticulture Containers
PCR plastics play an important role in waste reduction and energy conservation, contributing to a cleaner environment. The HC Companies, a provider of horticultural containers and growing solutions, aims to set the industry standard for sustainability by incorporating an average of 50% recycled content with a minimum of 10% PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) content across all its horticultural containers. This aligns with the company’s ongoing dedication to providing environmentally friendly solutions tailored to the greenhouse and nursery industries, particularly in regions with more strict plastic focused environmental regulations.
This initiative not only will integrate at least 10% PCR content across the majority of its product lines, but will also receive credible third-party certification to guarantee transparency in supply chains. This commitment simplifies compliance with plastics regulations in both the U.S. and Canada, serving as a valuable resource for businesses operating in environmentally regulated regions.
In addition to PCR, HC also provides a comprehensive selection of eco-friendly growing containers, including biobased materials, compostable plastics, and microplastic-free options. This diverse range caters to the various sustainability goals of businesses operating in environmentally regulated regions.
The HC Companies also serves as partners in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data and reporting support for horticultural containers, and offers guidance and third-party certifications for its product lines, assisting businesses in navigating the complexities of ESG reporting and enhancing their corporate sustainability initiatives.
