About ( r e )x

(re)x, an eco-design company founded by Los Angeles-based designer Paulina Quintana, is introducing a new hanger made from 100% recycled plastic that is gathered from the ocean or intercepted before entering the ocean. Quintana’s mission is to create sustainable solutions for everyday products and turn them into an opportunity to remove plastic waste from the environment. Raw materials for the (re)x hangers are sourced from beach clean-ups and local recycling efforts in South Africa, recovering plastics from the ocean and removing post-consumer and post-commercial plastics from the waste stream. Each hanger features slight color variations reflecting the variety of plastics collected. All the company’s packaging is made from 100% recycled material and is 100% biodegradable, helping keep more plastic out of the ocean. Read their story
