Environment
Beautiful hair. Less waste.
Great hair shouldn’t have to come at the expense of our planet. That’s why we work with Green Salon Collective to separate specialist salon waste for recycling and reuse.
See how it works
Small changes behind the chair can make a real difference
Cut hair, used foils and empty colour tubes cannot always be handled through ordinary recycling services. At re:new, we keep these specialist materials separate so they can be collected and handled through Green Salon Collective.
We separate
Our team separates cut hair, used foils and empty colour tubes during the working day.
Green Salon Collective collects
The separated salon waste is sent through Green Salon Collective’s specialist collection system.
Materials are recycled or repurposed
The materials are directed to appropriate recycling, recovery or reuse projects rather than being placed in our ordinary salon waste.
What we recycle
Cut hair
Collected for specialist recycling and reuse projects instead of being placed in our ordinary salon waste.
Used foils
Used foils are kept separate so the valuable aluminium can be recycled.
Colour tubes
Empty metal colour tubes are collected alongside other salon metals for specialist recycling.
From clippings to something useful
Hair has more possibilities than you might think
Green Salon Collective works with a range of specialist projects to give cut hair another purpose. Hair can be used through more than ten recycling and reuse routes, including composting and the creation of hair booms that can help absorb oil.
What would normally be swept into general waste can instead become a useful material.
