Plastics
With the salon industry's heavy use of plastics, we knew a real impact can (and has!) been made by recycling it all and creating sustainably stylish new products. -

Metals
By recycling metals, like salon foils and colour tubes, we contribute to a greener future and also generate proceeds to feed those in need. -
