Created by Ukrainian designer Viktor Puzur, the sustainable closet solution is officially titled 'Trempel,' and is created using a fairly straight forward method that may inspire you to experiment with making your own. In order to create the recycled hangers, Puzur takes a [recycled cardboard tube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-guitar-1) and cuts it into angled sections, with one tube making approximately 25 hangers. After creating the cut out sections, he drills a hole in the top of each piece and sands the edges to smooth them out and applies a waterproof coating to ensure that damp clothing doesn't cause the hangers to bend or warp. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Recycled Cardboard Products:** Developing innovative products made from recycled cardboard materials provides an opportunity for companies to meet eco-friendly consumer demands. - **Eco-friendly Closet Solutions:** Creating sustainable closet solutions using recycled materials presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home organization industry. - **DIY Sustainable Crafts:** Encouraging consumers to experiment with creating their own eco-friendly products from recycled materials can tap into the growing DIY market while promoting environmental consciousness. ### Where This Applies - **Eco-friendly Manufacturing:** Adopting recycled cardboard as a primary material for manufacturing processes opens up opportunities for companies to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. - **Home Organization:** Integrating recycled cardboard closet solutions within the home organization industry offers a disruptive way to provide eco-friendly storage solutions for consumers. - **Sustainable Crafts:** The sustainable crafts industry can benefit from promoting DIY projects that utilize recycled materials, offering consumers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft supplies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Thin-Wood Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-hanger.md) - [Deflated Balloon Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chong-shop.md) - [Upcycled Waste Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-furniture-design.md) - [Geometrically Shaped Hanger Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger.md) - [Expanding Garment Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-hanger.md) - [Storage-Conscious Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coat-hingers.md) - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.md) - [Recycled Material Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-cleo-lamp.md)
