Your salon can have a positive impact on the planet and community.
Make sustainability a key to salon success
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 recycling specialist, giving waste resources from hair salons a second life, and providing social and community impact beyond the salon doors.
Through our collection and processing 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.
Our record so far …
kgs of salon waste recycled and repurposed
years worth of a single Aussie home's energy saved
lires of water saved by recycling cardboard
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.
"We're an organic salon and knew the industry had a waste problem. We were already recycling anf reusing, but when joining WFS it became so much easier. The staff and clients love it. We just included the small fee on our price list. You're crazy if you don't jump on board!"
