Companies team up to launch tag recycling program

John Henry, a Multi Packaging Solutions company, and Blackmore Co., a supplier of hort. equipment, plastic trays, growing media and fertilizer, have partnered to offer customers a tag recycling program. Clean styrene tags will be collected and recycled to produce plant trays. "This is an important step in reducing the carbon footprint of our industry by taking advantage of styrene's excellent recyclability. Our partnership with John Henry will address what had traditionally been the missing link in the recycling chain — a collection mechanism," said Skip Blackmore, pres. of Blackmore Co.
