100%
recycled corrugated
cardboard." |
Maybe your dry-cleaner gave it to you with your clothes.
Maybe you spied someone toting one around with their laundry. Maybe it
was at the gym locker room.
The point is, bloomerHang is out in the wild in
Singapore and you
spotted it. Since you're here, you probably want to find out more.
As you may have guessed, bloomerHang is no ordinary
clothes hanger.
It's the first product from a company called bloomerang — read
more about us here.
Unlike traditional clothes hangers made of wire or plastic,
bloomerHang is completely recyclable and
biodegradable. That's
because they're made of corrugated cardboard. What's more, they're made
of recycled material to begin with - A sandwich of recyclable art paper
and 100% recycled corrugated cardboard.
Dry-cleaners, laundromats and other businesses give out
hundreds of
thousands of wire and plastic hangers in Singapore every year. Imagine
if all those hangers were replaced with a hanger made of recycled
materials that not only fulfills its function, but is also collected
after use for recycling.
That's
the virtuous circle bloomerHang will
catalyse. We'll help you
green your wardrobes, one hanger at a time, then collect used
bloomerHangs for recycling.
Where can you find bloomerHangs? For
starters,
laundromats and dry
cleaners all over Singapore.
Start greening your wardrobe. Ask your local dry-cleaner or laundromat
to sign up as a bloomerHang distributor today.
