The John Henry Co. Implements GOEX Corp. Recycling Program

Gone, but Not Forgotten
“The John Henry R&D team evaluated numerous materials options, including ‘biodegradable’ and recycled plastics. We concluded that the GOEX solution using recycled plastic was a more viable solution for customers trying to balance sustainability and costs,” Luea says. “There are biodegradable plastics such as PLA available, but research shows that these materials do not fully decompose and are relatively expensive with limited availability,” he explains. “While these materials partially degrade, they leave behind microscopic pieces of plastic that never go away and won’t revert to organic matter, creating a long-term problem. Short-term, you feel pretty good about it, but if there’s a better solution, you should look at it. That’s what recycling is all about, and GOEX has been a huge help in making this happen.”
