1. Interesting comment but I think you missed the attributed link in the second sentance of the first paragraph to the source of the stats. I will quote it for you “This company (link to their website) are promoting a solution; a fibre board biodegradable hanger and a campaign against the plastic hanger . Here is their promotional material” Which means that this is the promotional material of someone who opposes plastic hangers. It is their “facts and figures”, which I am quoting, for your information. You do have to remember the they are running a campaign against the plastic hanger and in the market promoting an alternative.

   You say “I have seen the information that you have supplied many times over the years and am not sure where you receive your facts”. FYI when I quote “facts” as in this case, the source is linked. You do know about links? You follow the highlighted text (usually a different colour from the rest of the text in this case “this company”), and then you are linked to my source. You actually find out from where I receive my “facts.” Its very quick and easy to do.

   I am glad to see you list some stores that according to you have a responsible hanger reuse policy (unsubstantiated).That is encouraging news. Now you know how they work perhaps you could offer some links to your own sources of information? I would be most interested.

   But while some stores may recycle/ reuse plastic hangers in store (do you have any reuse/recycle plastic hanger stats for U.S. clothing stores), if they are not taken by the customer (how many hangers are actually left in store I wonder?), they cannot be sure that the customer will recycle them when they discard them. That some will end up in landfill is without doubt. That some end up as litter can be easily seen. So what you are challenging here are not that this happens, but the actual numbers?

   But even if we reduce the numbers we are back to the problem of disposing of non-biodegradable plastic and the problems created when non biodegradable plastic escapes into the environment. If there is a compostable, alternative to a plastic product then I feel it is worth discussing that option, or rather allowing them to put their own case as I have done here.

   Thank you for being a regular reader. As such you will know that I feature many different sources of information on this blog often from opposing sides of the argument. Now you also know that I credit them and you can follow the LINKS (see above paragraph) to learn more about those sources.

   I look forward to reading your research on the subject.

   NB Even while recycling plastic may be considered by some a solution to the environmental issues caused by over use of plastic, I would have to disagree. I personally don’t believe it is effective
