Here's an innovative new product that introduces a great concept for helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
A new biodegradable clothes hanger has been created by Canadian company E-Hanger, made from recycled paper and using ink that is 100% eco-ink vegetable oil in its printed designs. These hangers are being distributed to dry cleaners, retail stores, hotels, and fitness centers completely free of charge. This cost free distribution is made possible due to the advertising dollars that are brought in from companies who market themselves on the hangers.
Such hangers will be able to replace tens of thousands of wire hangers which are dumped into Canadian landfills every year. They also replace plastic hangers which are not completely recyclable.
The replacement hangers will also help to reduce the carbon footprint of dry-cleaners and laundries by eliminating their large contribution of wire hangers to landfills. That carbon footprint reduction will then pass further on to consumers because they will no longer be using non-recyclable clothes hangers.
There's more to be found out about E-Hanger which will hold the dominant distribution rights of its 100% biodegradable clothing hangers. Providing companies with an easy option to be seen to be environmentally friendly is surely a winning strategy in today's green-conscious society and the double carbon footprint reduction will appeal to many.
