We all love the hairdressing industry but we also know it has an ugly side too.
We freely pour toxic hair colour down the sink.
We throw out used foils and colour tubes in the regular bin given they mostly can’t be recycled.
We even throw valuable hair cuttings into the bin.
Green Salon Collective is here to change all this through our specialist salon recycling program!
Founded by environmental experts, hairdressers and eco campaigners, we are the original authority on holistic salon sustainability throughout the UK and Ireland. If you’re looking to become a more eco-friendly salon, then you’re in the right place.
Green Salon Collective recycles specialist hair salon waste across the UK and Ireland, which includes typically landfilled waste, like cut hair and contaminated salon foil and colour tubes. With over 10 different ways to reuse and recycle waste hair, we use it to clean up oil spills, create art and sculpture, and even to make a hair & wool gardening twine.
Beyond providing each of our members with starter kits, marketing material, next-day collections and ongoing support, we also offer useful educational material on all matters regarding salon sustainability within the whole hairdressing industry.
The majority of our salons charge an optional £1 Green Fee to their clients, and actually profit from recycling! The average sized salon makes £1.5k a year by going green and being a GSC member…
