The Problem

Many salon owners want to become more sustainable but don't know where to start.

Between managing appointments, staff, stock and clients, finding the time to research sustainable practices can feel impossible. Conflicting advice, greenwashing and unclear information often make it difficult to know which changes will genuinely make a difference.

As a result, many businesses delay taking action altogether.

Meanwhile, salons continue to generate significant amounts of waste, consume large volumes of water and energy, and miss opportunities to reduce operating costs through more efficient working practices.

Without a clear plan, sustainability can feel overwhelming.

The Solution

Green Salon Collective, and the salon recycling starter kit, removes the guesswork.

You'll get everything you need to start recycling hair, foils and colour tubes straight away, and support to become more sustainable in other ways around the salon!

You'll also get marketing materials to help you charge a Green Fee, and start generating green profits from sustainability to reinvest in other ways.

Environmental Impact

Every improvement a salon makes, no matter how small, has the potential to reduce its overall environmental footprint.

The Green Salon Collective Salon Recycling Starter Kit enables salons to start recycling items that are usually sent to landfill, like hair, foils and colour tubes.
