Sharps
Sustainable Salons ethically and responsibly disposes of your clinic’s sharps with our Sharps Containers, preventing these materials from entering landfill.
Handling and disposing of sharps is serious business.
Our Sharps collection program is now available to service beauty and dermal clinics all across Australia and New Zealand. It is the safest, most convenient and cost-effective program in the beauty and dermal industry for responsibly disposing of waste materials from injectables.
Safe: Each regulation Sharps Container comes with a YES/NO instruction label to help staff safely and easily dispose of waste on the go, and a simple screw-top lid to tightly seal the container ready for collection.
Convenient: No more in-person returns! Sustainable Salons members simply order the specialised, compliant sharps containers online and have them delivered direct to their salon door, with full containers easily returned via the fortnightly collection or on-demand pick-up service as part of their Sustainable Salons membership.
Cost-effective: The Sharps Collection Program is integrated into the Sustainable Salons membership and containers can be ordered using Member Points (where eligible) or at a competitively low price. Plus, as a member, you get to kick council recycling costs to the kerb completely because we collect and recycle up to 95% of your salon bin and help feed those in need at the same time.

Hair is one of the most underestimated renewable resources out there. That’s why we’ve done the research and developed new ways to repurpose recycled hair. -

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. -
