From the salon industry to small businesses everywhere

From the salon industry to small businesses everywhere

Waste Free Systems began in 2016, helping hair salons become more sustainable, and working to repurpose salon waste into new products and materials.

Today, we service a broad range of small businesses that have one main thing in common; they want to divert the recoverable resources generated from serving their customers from landfill, and to be known in the community as taking their environmental impact seriously.
