Hung Up On These Hangers
Date: January 11, 2008 | Category: Accessories, Fashion
With the intention of creating a recycling system for hangers, Green Heart Global has launched Ditto. And they’ve got their eyes on quite a substantial prize - that is the retail clothing industry, whose annual contribution to landfills of plastic and wire hangers reaches into the billions. Ditto has two product lines, their paper hangers are 100% recycled (minimum of 70% post consumer waste) and their sleek PET hangers (yes, it’s plastic, but it is the most recyclable kind) utilize a single material construction in order to be absolutely, and easily, recyclable. They also use veggie inks and eco-friendly starch adhesives. Garnering themselves sustainable design awards - finally a hanger that deserves some vintage Valentino - Ditto is poised to revolutionize the lifecycle of the ubiquitous hanger.
