THE HC COMPANIES

## THE LEADER IN HORTICULTURAL CONTAINER MANUFACTURING ## Growing Together The HC Companies has led the way in the production of plastic and fiber horticultural containers since 1986. We currently serve the greenhouse, nursery, cannabis and consumer markets throughout North America, with a wide range of products to satisfy the demands of growers and retailers. Additionally, our Canadian facility produces sustainable fiber solutions for product packaging, consumer products and more.   ## Service to the Environment ## DOING OUR PART TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY **One of our core values is “SERVICE**  – We serve our customers, team members, the communities in which we operate and our industry.” That also includes a corporate responsibility to the environment. As part of that responsibility, we strive to be environmentally conscious in all aspects of our business. - We source and purchase resin comprised of post-consumer, post-industrial recycled materials for the manufacturing of our horticultural containers. - Our facilities in Middlefield, Ohio, Sebring, Florida and Sparks, Nevada produce hundreds of thousands of black horticultural containers each year made exclusively from nearly 100% recycled materials. - All product samples are packaged using Eco-Friendly Bubble Wrap, comprised of up to 40% recycled content with up to 20% from post-consumer resources.
