How HC Continues to Support the Environment

HC’s Four Environmental Themes

• Biodiversity: Ensuring appropriate measures are considered ranging from design, usage, after-use, and beyond. We are committed to doing our part in maintaining and encouraging the stability and integrity of our ecosystem.
• Water: From water use optimization to closed-loop water processing within our operations, we recognize that water is among the most vital components to our future.
• Waste: By incorporating certified recycled and reprocessed content into our products, we’re committed to diverting waste and designing products for additional lifecycles.
• Educate & Engage: We’re committed to sharing our story and explaining why our philosophy is so important. Additionally, it is our responsibility to communicate how our products are used and disposed of so everyone can make more informed decisions with comfort and ease.

Benefits of using recycled materials in our manufacturing

• Reduce the solid waste sent to landfills
• Conserve the resources necessary to create containers from non-recycled materials
• Save on overall energy usage
• Decrease the overall carbon footprint of our business

We’re creating a genuinely cyclical manufacturing process at HC while keeping SERVICE to our customers and our planet at the forefront. The notion of supporting a more circular economy should not only be a reality for the end-user of products but consistently applied throughout the manufacturer’s production process.

NOTE: While we strive to use 100% recycled materials in the majority of our black horticultural containers, on some
occasions the percent of recycled materials is reduced based on manufacturing limitations and customer requirements.
