I come across so many small companies that strive to make our planet better. They recycle and reuse materials we already have. It's a shame that they are often overlooked or cannot reach the masses. I have hope that more and more environment friendly companies will become the norm for our society.
This site is the latest find for products that are trying to eliminate our needless waste. The mundane objects in our lives are often wasted or thrown away without us really thinking about it. This company is making recycled paper coat hangers in order to decrease the amount of wire hangers that end up in landfills.

I've seen boxes of coat hangers being purchased in wardrobe/costume departments for film and theatre. It would be worth it for them to contact a person and buy a few boxes. It's a great idea for companies such as hotels or dry cleaners to purchase this item in bulk. This is probably where the majority of waste happens.
However, it would be nice if the site had a "buy a small package" kind of deal for the regular person. Seems like a hassle to contact them just to buy a few hangers. I like the idea a lot, but the accessibility for regular people to go to a store and buy these kind of products is not there. Great for companies who need these kind of hangers. Us consumers will have to wait I guess for this kind of thing to reach our closets.
