Plastic clothes hanger production projects require environmental impact assessments and the implementation of pollution prevention measures. For example, Anhui Yisu Plastic Products Co., Ltd.'s project to produce 70 million plastic clothes hangers annually received environmental impact report approval in July 2023, while Mengcheng County Zhongli Home Furnishings Co., Ltd.'s project to produce 9 million plastic clothes hangers annually underwent pre-approval public notice in March 2025.
Waste plastic clothes hangers are recyclable and should be placed in blue recyclable containers.
Decathlon has established a classified recycling mechanism to recycle waste plastic clothes hangers into products such as shopping bags. The challenge of recycling lies in the diverse materials of plastic clothes hangers, requiring processes such as washing, crushing, sorting, and certification.
