SHEFFIELD – UK-based garment hanger recycler Braiform has published research claiming that the environmental impact of plastic clothes hangers can be just as damaging as recently-vilified single use plastics such as bags, straws and bottles.
Braiform claims that, while often ignored in discussions around plastic waste within the fashion retail sector, there is a serious environmental risk that tens of billions of clothes hangers are landfilled every year – sometimes after a single use.
