It's an age-old question: Can used hairdressing foil be recycled?
With Green Salon Collective the answer is: HELL YA!
Research from Eco Hair & Beauty shows that UK hairdressers recycle a frightening/shocking/pathetic 1% of their foil.
ONE PERCENT!
Your hairspray cans and many styling products are likely to be made from metal. Colour tubes are metal. And even the can of pop you had at lunch should be recycled, too.
A major issue for many council collections is that your foils are too dirty and contaminated. They risk leaching onto other materials and could make EVERYTHING not fit for recycling!
But for us, the dirtier the better. Every foil with excess colour on it that we collect from you is colour that is not going down the sink or being sent to landfill. So give us your dirtiest foil!
