COVID caused major supply issues for many businesses and for us as consumers. For months, if you wanted a bicycle, you were on a very long wait list. A new couch came with a lengthy lead time. Even dry cleaners felt, and are still feeling, the pains of supply issues. Hangers, products and packaging have been difficult to come by, leaving dry cleaners scrambling for solutions.
Luckily Fabricare Cleaners is equipped with a solution that not only helps with the hanger supply issue, but also helps the environment. Have you ever wondered what to do with all those hangers you get when your dry cleaning is returned? If you don’t use them in your own closet, you can return them to Fabricare as part of their FAB EARTH program!
The Fab Earth initiative is an effort to REDUCE waste by REUSING and RECYCLING packaging materials. Nearly all the packaging materials Fabricare uses is reusable, including their “Fab Bag” dry cleaning bags, hangers, and beyond. Fabricare makes is super simple to get involved:
Call or email Fabricare and a driver will pick up any unused hangers or packaging – they even take back hangers from other cleaners!
Once back at the plant, the team sorts through the items and everything is either recycled or reused instead of ending up in a landfill.
This simple effort can make a big difference for our environment. Learn more about the initiative at fabricarecleaners.net/environment.
