IMPROVED CO 2 BALANCE BY USING Grass Coat Hangers BY HELLE MATHIESEN Each year billions of new coat hangers are used for transport and presentation. Million tons of plastics, timber and metal are pro- cessed for this purpose. Considering the ori- gin of material and the product lifecycle the environmental impact is remarkable. The re-using or re-cycling ratio is unfortunately quite low. Bio composites are an interesting alternative to traditional hanger materials. Cortec, coat hanger manufacturer based in Germany, launched its line “Corteco” which is using an innovative composite consisting of 50% regional grass fibers and 50% recycled con- sumer plastics. The independent German IfaS Institute for material sciences certified a CO 2 reduction of up to 64% compared to common materials. - The grass fibers reduce the general use of crude oil and make the hanger quite durable. No harmful substances, no overexploitation of forests, no journey to landfills. We de- signed the hangers for long term use and installed a re-using cycle. Hangers shall be kept in the system as long as possible and at the end of the product lifecycle we recy- cle the material to new hangers. It is a daring approach for a hanger manufacturer but the time is now if we want to drive the change, says Torsten Schmitt, GM at Cortec to NU.
