Green Hair Dryers
10-19-2010 With the green movement taking off, many new companies are appearing with interesting new products. There are some companies who are not really environmentally conscious yet call themselves “green” companies. Then there are others who take the greening concept to a higher level and try to be resourceful when making all their products.
After returning from the West Coast Green conference, I realized that one company was really on the right track in terms of recycling plastic bottles and reducing waste in a practical way. Recycle Movement Corporation had a small-sized booth at the conference but was one of the more noteworthy companies displaying practical everyday household items.
Recycle Movement Corporation’s main focus is on recycling plastic bottles to create textiles, however they seem to create other appliances as well. The one that I am really looking forward to is the cute, lightweight hair blow dryer.
The small hairdryer to the right is a negative ion dryer, which means it is healthier to use it when drying your hair. Prices range from $40-$50.
As someone with short hair, it’s important that I style it immediately after I wash it. Often times, blow dryers get too hot and a burning smell fills up my bathroom; then I start worrying that my hairbrush is melting and my hair is getting fried. Well, these new green blow dryers are temperature controlled and they still do a great job in terms of styling your hair.
Most importantly, they’re great for the environment. The company is eco-conscious and is whole-heartedly committed to reducing the amount of waste in our landfills; as they say on their website:
We have spent the last 3 years developing various types of 100% PET bottle recycled textiles. The quality of our PET textiles will match their non-eco friendly counterparts’ thread for thread.
