Going Green
At Rye Ridge Cleaners in Rye Brook, New York, we understand the importance of using eco-friendly products. That’s why we introduced the Green Garmento bag, a garment and laundry bag that’s not only attractive and easy to use but environmentally friendly.
Many of our customers have switched to using it versus the traditional plastic covers. Together, we have saved over 200,000 plastic bags (over 5,000 lbs. of Plastic).
Saving the Earth
Each year, more than 300 million pounds of single-use plastic dry cleaning bags are dumped into our landfills, and that’s just the statistics for the United States. At least 15 countries around the world have banned or taxed single-use plastic bags, including parts of the United States.
Don’t Use Plastic
Plastic bags don’t completely break down in landfills. When the plastic bags are left on recently cleaned clothes, they don’t breathe, which causes heat and moisture to build up, which is not good for the fabric.
Our Recyclable Option
We offer a recyclable, breathable, and water-resistant option. Our Green Garmento is an eco-friendly, stylish, practical, and affordable alternative to single-use plastic garment bags. Make the switch today and aid in our fight to reduce the negative impact of single-use plastic bags.
