Gertjan Meijer, co-founder of Arch & Hook: a better hanger
Description
Hangers are the last thing on our mind when talking about the impact of fashion. And yet, the problem is real: billions of low grade plastics hangers end up in the landfill every year. Hangers that are used mostly for transportation from the factory to the stores. Because these cheap hangers are part of a larger system that’s very profitable for hanger companies and also cost and time effective for big retailers, nobody cared to change it. That was until Arch & Hook, the first sustainable hangers company decided it was time to make better hangers. In this episode, Gertjan Meijer, one of the co-founders and Chief Commercial Officer of Arch & Hook sheds light on fashion’s global hangers disaster and tells us more about the company mission, solutions and ideas to disrupt this industry.
