GROWING GREEN SALONS
A vast majority of salon waste in Australia ends up in landfill each year, creating greenhouse emissions, reducing landfill capacity and wasting precious resources.
We are a salon waste collection and consolidation specialist, giving waste resources from hair salons a second life, and providing social and community impact beyond the salon doors.
Through the collection of your salon waste, we’re able to dramatically reduce our your salon’s environmental footprint, make donations to charities who need our support, and give your staff and clients the confidence that you take sustainability seriously.
1 kg of recycled foil saves the same amount of energy used to power an Aussie home for 1 day.
1 kg of your hair can absorb up to 8 litres of oil spilled into waterways.
Recycling 7kgs of cardboard saves 125 litres, or 1 bathtub of water.
Saving 1kg of plastic from landfill is like removing emissions from a car driving 75kms.
Unless captured and recycled, most salon chemicals are simply tipped down the drain.
