Ty in the blogosphere...

We want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who blogged about Ty last week. It made our launch especially exciting and brought a lot of visitors (and buyers) to our site and shop. 

See Ty on Core77 here. We love you Core, thank you for your support!

Thanks to Matt Grisby of Rhode Island's Industrial Design Society of America (and Ecolect) for including Ty in their newsletter last week. 

We would also like to thank all our family, friends (and strangers!!) who got online and purchased their own Ty last week. We are excited to process all your orders as well as get your feedback. 

Keep the word spreading!!

Ty - Recyclable Shower Curtain

We're celebrating the launch of our new online shop and our first in-house product, the Ty Recyclable Shower Curtain!  

Ty is a simple plastic shower curtain. Unlike other shower curtains made of vinyl, Ty will not off-gas in your home (learn more about the problems with vinyl here). Also unlike vinyl, Ty breathes, making it less likely to grow gross mold and mildew. To clean, use soap and water or even throw Ty in the washing machine and air dry (no dryer please). Ty is stronger than vinyl. Ty will last a very long time and then can be recycled. 

Ty is made of 100% high-density polyethylene (HDPE) #2 plastic. Often used for milk jugs, HDPE is the most commonly recycled plastic and is PVC free. 

There is more info available on the shop page.  Tell a friend!
