NEW DEGRADABLE RAW MATERIAL FOR CLOTHES HANGERS

2019-06-18

As professional clothes hangers suppliers, we know the prejudices people have against plastic, and thus, against our plastic hangers. First of all, plastic is not degradable, for which reason plastic hangers are not the best option for the environment. This fact also contributes to the lower sales rate of plastic hangers in comparison with hangers of other materials.

We have always tried to find eco-friendly solutions to meet the requirements of all type of customers and, obviously, to contribute to protect our planet. That’s why we already included recyclable hangers, such as cardboard hangers, in our range of products.



In addition, we also include a range of bamboo hangers. As matter of fact, bamboo regenerates much faster than other plants, so that using this material causes less harm to the planet.

Now, we are happy to communicate the finding of a new eco-friendly material which, on top of its benefits for the environment, is also very resistant: degradable wheat straw. This material offers the possibility to produce semi-degradable or fully degradable clothes hangers to meet the specific requirements of every customer.



This type of raw material is already well-known in China. It is very popular in the market and it was originally used mainly for the production of kitchen products.



Considering its eco-friendly properties, we realized about its potential as a raw material for clothes hangers.

After discovering this material, we just contacted our co-operating plastic factory, we jointly created many new models, and we tested their hardness, load-bearing capacity and outward features.



The most relevant results proved that hangers of this material are a bit lighter than conventional plastic hangers. However, they show a sufficient load-bearing resistance. Due to the material itself, the color of the end product cannot be totally uniform, since smalls wheat particles remain. However, these small particles give the garments a different touch.

After all this, we concluded that this material could perfectly replace conventional plastic, and even become the leading raw material in this new generation of clothes hangers.

Natural wheat straw plastic is made of wheat, rice husk and other green, eco-friendly materials. It has the same performance as the common plastic, and it is used for the manufacture of all types of plastic products. The first grade of this material consists of wheat straw fiber polylactic acid + PP, as well as wheat straw fiber + PE. This material is semi-degradable.

Now, we have found a material which consists of 62% wheat fiber granules, 17.6% PBAT, and 17.6% PLA. This material is fully degradable. Preserved indoor under sealed conditions, it can last up to more than 12 months.

Obviously, it will allow us to produce eco-friendly alternatives without therefore sacrificing the resistance and good properties of the other, conventionally used, materials.
