Your typical shower curtain is made of vinyl, the infamous off-gassing plastic. The Ty shower curtain is made of recycable #2 plastic, which is breathable (making it less likely to grow gross mold and mildew) and doesn't off gas. Made in the USA, this DIY edition comes with a permanent marker so you can brighten up your bathroom by creating your own design on the curtain. Ty is also a member of 1% For The Planet, so your purchase assists environmental nonprofits fighting the good fight for the earth.
