Hanger is a shoulder-shaped frame with a hook at the top.

Usually of wire, wood, or plastic, for draping and hanging a garment when not in use. 2. a part of something by which it is hung, as a loop on a garment.

The clothing hanger was originally designed to allow people quick access to their clothing as well as designate an area, in their home, to keep their clothing in.

It was also used to keep clothing dry or without a wrinkle.

The most common material used to make clothes hangers is plastic.

They use hard to recycle plastics like polystyrene no 6 or polycarbonate, one of the plastic no 7’s.

Some hangers are made from metal or wood, but they are often mixed with other materials like plastic or fabrics, making them even harder to recycle.
