Hanger supplier and circular solutions for retail
Solutions for the entire cycle, on a global scale
A system designed for the speed and complexity of retailing
Retail is fast-paced, moves large volumes and does not allow for friction. At Erum we respond with a comprehensive system that accompanies brands from the new hanger to its return, sorting and revaluation.
Manufacturing with certified recycled material. Reverse logistics with proprietary hub network. Verifiable traceability for ESG reporting. In a single partner.
The hanger as a visual merchandising and operational efficiency asset
A hanger that holds much more than a garment.
The retail hanger not only supports a garment, it supports the operation. It is a visual merchandising piece that communicates the brand at the point of sale, a logistics element that conditions loading and unloading times, and a component with an environmental footprint that more and more retailers must document.
At Erum we treat it as a key asset, designed to withstand the real pace of fashion brands, manufactured with certified recycled material and ready to return to the cycle when its useful life ends.

International retail supplier: global hub network and local supply chain Global by nature
We operate in more than 96 countries with a proprietary network of sorting hubs that allows us to manufacture, distribute and manage the return of hangers in the markets where our customers produce and sell.
The proximity model is not just logistics efficiency, it is what makes it possible to achieve reuse rates of close to 90%, compared to the 42% typical of centralized models. And it is what makes it possible to document the complete cycle of each hanger for the customer’s sustainability reporting.
Active operational presence in:
- Europe: Spain, Portugal, France, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Poland
- Africa: Morocco, Egypt
- Asia: Turkey, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia
- America: United States, Mexico, Colombia
Sustainable retail supplier: certifications, recycled content and data for ESG
The Sustainability Manager of a large fashion chain needs more than a sustainable hanger. They need verifiable data that can be presented in their annual sustainability report.
Erum Group offers what very few hanger manufacturers can accredit, an integrated chain from post-consumer recycled material to the hanger delivered in store, with GRS certification at every link and verifiable recycled content documentation.
What we accredit and document for each customer:
- Percentage of recycled content certified under GRS (Global Recycled Standard)
- Material traceability: from post-consumer plastic waste to the finished hanger
- Reuse rate of the return system: real data per customer and period
- Estimate of CO₂ avoided compared to hangers manufactured with virgin material
- Documentation directly usable in CSRD reports (Scope 3, purchases category)
- Compatibility with PPWR recycled content targets for plastic packaging
Active certifications:
- GRS (Global Recycled Standard) — verifiable recycled content
- UNE-EN 15343 — recycled plastic traceability
- ISO 9001 — quality management system
- ISO 14001 — environmental management system
Cost reduction in retail: operational efficiency through circularity
Sustainability and cost reduction are not opposing objectives. In Erum’s model, they are the same lever.
How Erum’s system reduces costs for the retailer:
- Return and reuse system: optimizes the use of hangers over multiple cycles, reducing the need for new purchases and the costs associated with supply.
- 90% reuse rate: compared to 42% in centralized models. the difference is hangers you don’t have to manufacture
- Proximity hub network: less transport per hanger, lower logistics cost and smaller carbon footprint
- Manufacturing with recycled material: more stable raw material price than virgin plastic in contexts of energy volatility
- Comprehensive management in a single partner: fewer suppliers, less management, less operational friction

Frequently asked questions about hangers and solutions for retail
Do you manufacture hangers with certified recycled material?
Yes. We manufacture hangers with post-consumer recycled plastic certified under GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and UNE-EN 15343. The percentage of recycled content is documented batch by batch and is directly usable in sustainability reports and ESG audits.
Can you manufacture custom hangers with our brand design?
Yes. We develop custom hangers: shape, corporate color, finish, hook size and brand reference. The process includes prototyping, validation and series production with the same quality and recycled content criteria as standard hangers.
How does the hanger return system work?
We operate under the RTS (Return to Source) model, adapted to each customer's needs. The hanger is collected at the return point, sorted at our proximity hubs and its destination is defined: direct reuse, repair or recycling. The entire process generates verifiable traceability documentation.
In which countries do you operate?
We operate in 96 countries with active presence in Europe, North Africa, Asia and America. This allows us to cover both the production markets and the sales markets of major fashion retailers.
What type of reporting do you provide to customers?
Yes. We issue periodic reports that include detailed information on the reuse and recycling of materials, as well as continuous improvement indicators and defect analysis. This information allows the customer to understand the product's behavior in the use cycle and optimize its performance over time.
What is the difference between a hanger with recycled material and a recyclable hanger?
A recyclable hanger is designed to be recycled at the end of its useful life. A hanger with GRS certified recycled material is manufactured with material that has already been recycled, and that recycled content is verified and documented. For ESG reporting, what counts is the recycled content of the material purchased, not the recyclability of the product.
