The packaging promises 100# tree-free, 100% non-toxic, formaldehyde free, chlorine free, heavy metal free materials with Earth-friendly soy-based inks and starch-based adhesives. On top of that the compact hanger width promises to double your closet space. Looks like the clothes hanger of your dreams by Ditto Sustainable Solutions. Good for your customers. Good for your store image. Good for the planet. But look beyond a great product to a great hook … an eco-friendly Grey Powdercoated Tubular Faceout with Disk Finial and Heavy-Duty, Flatback, Slatwall Backplate. Wow, the Faceout merits as many descriptors as the product. Good thing I’m paid by the word.
