When you consider the entire cradle-to-grave story, Hi-Cone RingCycles™, made from 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, show sustainable advantages in every impact category studied.

Get In TouchHi-Cone is proud to partner with the Ocean Conservancy to end plastic waste.
Every year, volunteers with Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) collect millions of items off beaches and waterways around the world. A lot needs to be done to address the problem of ocean waste, including moving to a more circular model where items are reused and recycled rather than tossed away. The Ocean Conservancy has commended Hi-Cone for working to ensure its products are made of recycled materials. As a founding member of the Trash Free Seas Alliance®️, Hi-Cone actively worked with the Ocean Conservancy to develop aggressive goals to minimize plastic waste entering the ocean. Hi-Cone’s partnership with the Ocean Conservancy dates back to 1994, with employees participating in beach cleanups among other volunteer initiatives to support the environment and minimize ocean waste.
