While many grocery stores and supermarkets of all stripes are cleaning their act on the plastic bag side, dry cleaners (in the US at least) still consume a prodigious amount of the stuff to shield everything from skirts to shirts.
Some practical minds decided to change that with Green Garmento.
You might be wondering, what is that?
Green Garmento tells us it is "A reusable dry-cleaning bag,
An eco-friendly all-in-one laundry bag,
A reusable hanging garment bag,
A carrying bag and duffel bag,
A hanger hamper,
A "green" dry cleaning bag,
An eco-friendly alternative to
single-use plastic dry cleaning bags"
On a practical note they describe it as "made from 100% biodegradable polypropylene – the same material used for the reusable grocery bags at many grocery stores. It's machine washable and looks really cool too."
It is currently available in 3 colours, blue water, green grass, black night.
Could double as a garment bag when you travel.
Price is $9.99 if you order from 1 to 9.
For full disclosure, they did not pay me to promote their fare nor sent me a sample.
I discovered this practically green and useful product thanks to Springwise.
