Composition
Made of steel wire, which may be galvanised, coated with paint, or covered with a thin layer of plastic.
Environmental impact
A metal hanger discarded improperly can corrode in a landfill for years, and its thin plastic coating may create microplastics. Recycling steel wire saves energy compared to new production.
Disposal instructions
Dispose of it at a recycling yard or in a metal container, depending on local waste management guidelines. Recommendation: If you have surplus hangers in good condition, consider donating them for further use (for example, to a dry cleaner).
Factoid
The modern shape of the metal clothes hanger was invented in 1903 as a practical solution to a shortage of hangers in a cloakroom and has been widely used ever since.
