See your impact
Materials are repurposed. Proceeds are donated to your charity of choice. Verifiable data is available on your online ECO Profile.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
These are the numbers behind every collection - not a projection. Every kilogram diverted is one less to landfill, and one more repurposed into products, or savings of water and energy.
Each salon's individual numbers are updated in realtime and access through their ECO Profile.

RECOVERABLE MATERIALS
Common salon waste streams that can be diverted from landfill and repurposed.
METALS
Foil & Metals
Foils, colour tubes and spray cans are super recyclable, often turned straight back into what they started as, and the proceeds fund your chosen charity.
HAIR
Hair Clippings
Small clippings with big possibilities. Collected separately, hair can be recovered and put to use instead of going to landfill.
CARDBOARD
Packagaing
Boxes, packaging and paper. Keep them clean and separate so their fibres can be recycled into something useful again.
PLASTICS
Bottles
Empty salon bottles and containers. Sorting recyclable plastics helps keep valuable materials in circulation.
CHEMICALS
Colour & Liquids
Keep leftover colour and salon chemicals separate for responsible collection, rather than pouring them down the drain.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY
Nominate which one of our charity partners receives proceeds from recycling your foils and metals as a quarterly donation.
Planting native forests
Greenfleet plants legally protected native Australian forests to deliver climate action, create habitat for koalas and other native wildlife, and help conserve biodiversity.
Feeding QLD families in need
Each week, Foodbank supports 135,000 Queenslanders in crisis and provides breakfast to 52,000 children each school week. Every $1 buys 2 meals for those in need.
Supporting childrens education
The Smith Family works with thousands of Australian children and their families every day, to overcome educational inequality caused by poverty.
