Our Dream: Plastic Free USA

All of us at Tangie believe that small changes in our daily lives can collectively create a substantial positive impact on our health and the health of our beautiful planet, Earth.

As a United States-based company, we are committed to reducing single-use plastic waste in the beauty, personal care, and household cleaning products industry, one of the major contributors to environmental pollution.

The Plastic Waste Crisis

Did you know that millions of plastic bottles and packaging are discarded every year from common household items? Think about how many bottles you’ve thrown away in just the past six months from your shower routine alone. Now, consider the plastic waste generated by other essential items throughout your home. The numbers can be staggering, especially as the number of individuals in a household increases.

Tangie’s Commitment to Sustainability

At Tangie, we address this pressing issue head-on. Our focus begins with product research and development, extending through packaging, warehousing, and shipping. We are dedicated to providing solid, waterless, and concentrated solutions for personal and laundry care that effectively reduce plastic waste.

Our Tangie concentrates and bar products serve as effective alternatives to traditional liquid and bottled cleaners. We prioritize compostable and recyclable packaging, natural ingredients, and eco-friendly shipping practices that align with our commitment to sustainability.

Handcrafted with Care

All Tangie products are meticulously handcrafted with healthy, environmentally friendly ingredients that are gentle on your skin and kind to the planet. Plus, our products are affordably priced, making them a win-win-win for you, your family, and the Earth.

Join us at Tangie in making a conscious choice for a cleaner, greener future. Together, we can transform our daily routines and contribute to a healthier planet for generations to come.

Contributions To The Society

We are proud to say we give back in many ways but there are a few places we are most proud of. The following places are amazing and we support them by providing them cleaning products without charge when they need it.

RUTH HOUSE

Ruth House is a transitional shelter for women in crisis who possess a strong desire to overcome their life wounds, addictions, and/or addictive behaviors. This is accomplished through a research-based, systematic program that includes Bible study, group and individual counseling, and connections with the community.We teach women how to live a healthy lifestyle under the Lordship of Christ.We help women set goals, find employment and establish a permanent residence.Ruth House was founded in March of 2006 due to the high number of women with children who struggle with various issues of addiction and are in need of guidance and help in reconstructing their lives and the lives of their families.

Street Team Movement’s laundry program is called (Re): New

The goal of (Re): New is to provide a safe place for our clients to wash their clothes. Street Team Movement provides the location and any resources needed to perform laundry duties; our clients are required to make and keep their own appointments. Most homeless individuals either contend with dirty clothes or seek out new clothing as opposed to simply washing the clothes that they already have. In partnership with Thornton Park Coin Laundry, we are able to renew not only our client’s clothes but their hope and outlook on themselves. A fresh change of newly washed clothes should not be taken for granted.

Twice a week, an average of 212 people laundry. Which is about 424 loads of laundry. An average of $8 per person, so an average monthly total of $1,696. We have been proving laundry services since April of 2014. Year to date we have done 22,048 loads of laundry for 11,024 people. We have used an average of $20,352 in quarters to do laundry (Which comes to 1,017 pounds of quarters).

Forward paths

For those aging out of the foster care system. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live up to their full potential. Our focus is on our community’s homeless youths and those who are aging out of foster care.

We believe together we can create a path that leads to independence. Our vision is a supportive community that aids in acquiring housing, transportation, job skills, and other needed services that will direct them on a forward path to success. With the support of our community, these vulnerable youth will flourish, uniting voices of change around the world.

HUMANE SOCIETY OF LAKE COUNTY

Please, everyone bring all your newspapers, magazines, and other papers to the shelter and help us fill it to the top! The proceeds from this will benefit our shelter tremendously!
