8:58 - "So this is what my paper hangers are up against, huh?"

[@derespektan3980]

a guy invented the replacement for plastic and they're still debating 🤦‍♂️

[@nuck-]

Didnt go far - the largest manufacturers and distributors needed to transition to this product, too much revenue loss so it never happened. If the biggest corps on the planet will lose money? It will never happen. If it gets any traction they always just buy the patent for extreme money and the idea is lost into their vaults. This is capitalism, money for everything.

[@oneheadlight8000]

It’s not a replacement for plastic. It’s heavier takes longer to make and cost substantially more for manufacturing.

[@adequatequality]

The only thing I'll say is that the shirt hanger probably has the most likelihood to go viral online and generate the most revenue. It's an easy to understand product with low COGS. I know that's not the point, but the entrepreneur that made that product was the only one to focus on the money making aspect of their creation.

[@TheArccore]

Go viral to the sense that people will go running to the dry cleaners to get a paper hanger??????

[@r3tr0gam3r89]

​@TheArccore well, I don't think she's intending on dry cleaners being the only place to have them. She could do the same thing in stores. They pay to have hangers in their stores and print advertising for their deals.

[@kevindunlap5525]

There's hope for the world when we can start creating and finally using all of the green plastics available. You can't believe what a huge difference it would make.

[@nuck-]

Theres less money in it so it will never happen. Same reason why we're not all on solar, we can EASILY do it but it would lower profits for the rich so it will never happen. This is capitalism, money before EVERYTHING.

This was funny. Kevin was not feeling this eco-friendly stuff. The only green he wanted to talk about was money. Also, why did they have them standing next to each other when answering questions as opposed to individually? That made no sense and could've exposed who they were favoring.

[@kaitlynanita448]

The small hangers omg 😂

[@jennross6466]

I wanted to see if they worked. The Dragons could have removed their suit jacket and tried the product out.

[@stephjovi]

first pitch: I mean I guess special shorter pitch but I would want to see clothes on those hangers to show that it works, oil free plastic sounds fantastic this is quite old and we`re drinking from paper straws, why don´t we have bio plastic straws! The wipes cute but the whole purpose of wipes is to throw them away otherwise just use washcloths. How do they even care about the hangers. imagine that stuff works and replaces plastic. That`s important for the world. But they only care about what people see.

Personally for me i think the middle guy in the beginning making environmental roof materials , base boards , doors etc products would gain the biggest financial reward if sold .not to mention the amount of wasteful non biodegradable products used on ever hoise and new construction . Plus it's cheaper for those who purchase necessary items to do home building and repairs .

[@robertburk5550]

A PAPER hangar Jesus Christ. You wash your shirt, it's wet, you place it outside to dry on PAPER. Where's paper come from, trees, so even if it's recycled and this is a huge success you are ending up with more trees cut down in the end anyways.

[@NaomiIsSoAwesome98]

how? She's using recycled so she's not contributing to the cutting of trees. And if you were to dry some clothes why wouldn't you use clothespins?

[@robertburk5550]

@@NaomiIsSoAwesome98 Do some research, recycled doesn't mean 100% environment friendly or 100% reusable. It only means they put back in some of the materials previously used. It's basically a scam really. You use a lot of energy to clean and then recycle those materials. A simple old fashioned wire hangar would last way longer and then result in a MUCH higher return if recycled than what paper would.
