Rooted in Responsibility.
Growing Toward a Greener Future.

At Growscape, sustainability isn't just a goal —it's a guiding principle. Born from the legacy of The HC Companies and Classic Home & Garden, we are proud to lead the horticultural industry forward with practical innovation, eco-efficient manufacturing, and a deep respect for our planet.

We understand that for our partners to thrive, the planet must thrive, too. That's why we're committed to delivering products and solutions that help growers, retailers, and homeowners succeed —without compromising the environment we all depend on.

Every day, we are dedicated to our shared future that sustains our planet and communities. We continue to shape a more sustainable horticultural supply chain by prioritizing:

Greenhouse Growing Containers

Zero virgin petroleum-based plastic content in all products, which are fully recyclable or degradable.

Drainage

50% reduction in our operational carbon and water footprints.

Circular Economy Practices

Circular economy practices that reduce waste and increase recyclability.

These aren't aspirations—they're active goals backed by decades of action, innovation, and accountability.

Growscape is an Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Recycling Demand Champion! We’re the first in the horticultural industry to earn this distinction, reflecting our commitment to transparency and sustainable manufacturing.

We are strengthening the post-consumer recycled market by only purchasing and supporting North American demand, encouraging investment in high-quality, certified PCR, and supporting the shift toward a more circular economy.

“Growscape's commitment  goes beyond product — we educate, influence policy, and drive innovation across the horticultural value chain.”
