Each year 3.5 billion wire hangers end up in U.S. landfills where they hang around for at least 100 years. It’s a huge waste of resources that the new Hanger Network proposes to solve with EcoHangers. This green company’s already celebrating a 5-million-hanger milestone as its fully recyclable biodegradable EcoHangers made of 100 percent recycled paper have replaced 312,000 pounds of steel shirt hangers. They now supply 35,000 professional dry cleaners around the country, with more to come.
