                                                                   What can I do with old clothes hangers? 
  I am Linda, Manager of Qingdao Head Products Int’l Company. I built my company in Qingdao of China in 2005.  After we entered into international business, I was taught to sell containers clothes hangers to worldwide. The customers from other countries are Hotel Stuffs wholesalers, Home Products Wholesalers, Fashion Garments Retailers or Wholesalers , Shop Display suppliers and Hanger Factories. They had very , very big order quantities. My factory grows bigger and bigger years after years. Till now the hanger factories here can produce 100,000 pieces hangers per day same as many other factories.
  In my factory city, wooden hangers, there are more than 200 factories. My sales company can export more than 20 millions hangers every year. And My factory can export 50 million ones.
  I often chat with my workmates, why the world need so many clothes hangers. In China, one hanger we can use many years till the end of hangers lifetime. Why the world still need so many hangers very single year? How do they recycle so many hangers are my main confusion. what will they do with the old clothes hangers ? 

What are clothes hangers called ?
  Clothes hangers can be made from all kinds of materials. They are wooden hangers, stainless steel hangers. Aluminum hangers, Rattan Hangers, Bamboo Hangers, Plastic Hangers, Velvet hangers , Cardboard paper hangers and cloth padded hangers.

 Clothes Hangers' Reuse and Recycle.
Cardboard hangers, wooden hangers, bamboo hangers , rattan hangers and some of padded hangers are 100% recyclable hangers, can be dropped to the bin directly after usage except hook and metal accessories. So used finishing is a kind of fashion. Can be used for donation .  Among them, Bamboo Hangers and Rattan Hangers are Eco-friendly material, as the raw material is self born and grow up quickly. Normally, we use these hangers for special topic clothes display, home clothes storage. Hotel room assembled.
  Stainless Steel Hangers and aluminum hangers were needed by the heavy duty requirement. They can be used long time. after usage can throw them directly to the rubbish bin. But they will heavy the environment pressure. But because the Metal hanger will be rusty or damaged surface badly. though it have longer life time. But we normally do not repack them to reuse.
  Velvet Hangers is worst on hangers on reuse and environment supporting. The velvet on the hanger surface has high ability on non slip. And they are cheap on price and space saving. So popular in recent years. But the velvet powder would drop during usage. It has shortest lifetime and can not repack to reuse totally . They should be drop to the plastic rubbish bin after usage and should broken the hook off to metal rubbish bins.  
   Plastic Hangers. As we know Plastic is horrible to environment. But plastic hangers are popular needed for its cheap price , long life time and easy production . Most fashion retailers love to display their fast commodity by plastic hangers. So reuse of the plastic hangers is very important to the environment and one of the main social responsibilities to large size link retailers of clothes. Such as H&M , Adidas, Zara, Nike, Hugo Boss……
 How to recycle clothes hangers ?
  20 years business gave me an ideal job, I hope I can be part of the recycle use of the clothes hangers. So lucky from 2019, we got the chance to involved in the service of plastic hangers recycle to ship.

  The customer's garment retail stores normally located in different countries, So gather the used plastic hangers need all teams' supporting. We felt so warm and grateful that these stores working team's fully supporting. They offered full understanding to this project. That’s impressed a lot to my hanger team.
