We've been studying the environmental effect of hangers on our biosphere. Over 8 billion unrecyclable plastic/wire hangers are landfilled every year...enough to fill 4.6 Empire State Buildings--every year. They're made from polystyrene and polypropylene and off gas benzene (carcinogen) and bi phenyl-A (hormone disruptor) into clothing in your hermetically sealed closet. That's why we reverse designed our award winning Ditto hangers that flow through recycling systems. Made of recycled paper and the same material bottles are made of: PET. Tell clothing companies and dry cleaners that their benzene and wire hangers are no longer acceptable. Gary Barker www.dittohangers.com This is a step in the right direction.

Many hangers are made of plastic as too are bottles; shift resources into another use. Very impressive idea. The shape of the bottles mimics that of a person's shoulders and if flattened they could be shaped to do little harm to the lay of the shoulders also. @_Rebecca: Flatten the bottles.
