Feeling a Little Green?
August 24th, 2007 • Posted by Paul Carter • Permalink
Business owners are always on the lookout for innovative ways to grow their business. The recent trend to find ways for businesses to operate greener has lead to some interesting business ideas.
A new business that creates a product called EcoHangers has found a creative way to help dry cleaners become more eco-friendly and save money at the same time. EcoHangers are sturdy paper hangers that replace the old wire hangers that most dry cleaners use. These new hangers are made from 100% recycled paper so no trees are harmed, and they are fully recyclable! The best part is that these hangers can be provided to dry cleaners absolutely free because they are paid for by the advertisers whose ads are imprinted on the the hangers themselves. On average this saves the dry cleaner about five cents per hanger which is what they would spend on a normal wire hanger.
We love this idea because everyone wins! The earth, the business owner, the advertiser and the consumer! What are some of the ways your business is being innovative and "green" at the same time?
