HAIRDRESSERS WHO SAY NO TO LANDFILL

 RECYCLE THE UNRECYCLABLE 


RECYCLING // COMPOSTING // RECOVERY

Our key goal is to recycle and reuse salon waste, focusing on specialist items like hair and metal. We use hair in over 10 different ways, including cleaning up oil spills, and donate all our profits from recycling metals. We compost salon towels. We generate energy from chemical waste and PPE. So far, we've diverted over 100 tons of salon waste from landfill or incineration.

HOW IT WORKS

Go Green For Free

For our system to become cost-neutral, our member salons charge their clients a £1 to £2 (or euro) Green Fee on every visit.  Some of our members call it an eco fee or a sustainable fee. Either way, this extra charge covers all future costs of being a member with us.
