    I’d like to recommend our product, which is a line of 100% recyclable clothing hangers, called Ditto Hangers.

    Ditto Hangers

    http://www.dittohangers.com

    There are estimated 8-10 billion plastic and wire hangers made annually, about which only 15% get recycled. The remaining hangers are thrown into dumpsters and into landfills. How much room do these hangers take up? How about 4.6 Empire State Buildings crammed full of hangers.

    Ditto Hangers have solved that problem by designing clothing hangers our two of the world’s most recycled materials: 100% recycled paper and 100% recyclable PET plastic (the same plastic used to make water bottles). Ditto Hangers are 100% recyclable in most municipal recycling systems, unlike any current hanger out on the market. And their design has recently won two 1st prize awards from the International Design Awards for Urban Sustainable Design and Environmental Preservation.
