The John Henry Co. Implements GOEX Corp. Recycling Program

Janesville, Wis.—GOEX Corp, a manufacturer of quality printable plastic sheet, has announced that The John Henry Company, a division of Multi Packaging Solutions, is among the first companies to participate in the GOEX Corporation’s “closed-loop” plastic recycling program.

“John Henry supplies plant tags, merchandising, and marketing solutions to growers, greenhouses and garden centers, as well as to florists and wholesale floral operations,” says Jon Luea, John Henry’s Product Development Manager for Grower Plastics. “Recognizing the industry’s interest in sustainable practices, we have worked to develop recycled products, plastic alternatives, and recycling programs for our customers. Our closed-loop program with GOEX is the second recycling program we’ve implemented this year, following the Blackmore program we recently announced to collect clean styrene tags from growers and garden centers and recycle them to produce plant trays. The GOEX program is helping us focus upstream to combine sustainable manufacturing practices with recycled products.” Although John Henry has recycled paper and plastic scrap for years, “This is the first time we’ve worked with the extruder to reintroduce it as a product. It’s a very exciting opportunity.” Luea says.
