Your salon is a hive of creativity, but the potential waste produced is not so glamorous…
Salons across Australia and New Zealand contribute almost 3 million kilograms of toxic waste to landfill every year. Think chemicals, foils, bottles, colour tubes… Not to mention huge piles of hair clippings swept from the floor daily.
Customers are starting to vote with their feet and find salons that are doing something about this.
Because almost ALL of this can be diverted from landfill and transformed into a force for good.
Sustainable Salons offer a resource recovery program for almost every material you can think of. We clean it, process it, recycle or repurpose it. But most importantly, we can save up to 95% of your salon waste from landfill.
Your waste will help us provide fresh, nutritious meals for people who need them most. 100% of the proceeds of selling recycled materials is donated to OzHarvest and KiwiHarvest to do what they do best.
Get exposure to over 10,000 potential new clients a month with a member listing on the #1 salon directory in Australia and New Zealand. Sustainable Salon members have collectively enjoyed over $15M in additional revenue to date, and counting...
Join the Sustainable Salons program and receive a kit with everything you need to start your sustainability journey: an easy guide and simple training for your staff, merch for your salon, waste sorting bins and more.
Simply sort your waste as you go into the clearly labelled bins or bags provided, and we'll do the rest. Sustainability has never been so easy.
From hair to metals, chemicals, plastics and more, there's not much we won't touch. With regular collections, you will be well on your way to creating lasting impact.
Benefits don't just stop at positive impact and profitability. Members also receive reward points to redeem against sustainably sound salon products, like 'Refoil', hair combs and more - the circular economy in action.
As a member, your salon will officially be certified as running a sustainable business. Receive an annual impact certificate celebrating the difference you've made - something special you can share proudly with your team and clients.
See why thousands of successful salons like yours are taking active steps to make a positive change.
While many businesses are keen to get on board, our current program is best suited to those in the hair, barber, beauty and pet grooming industries.
We collect, clean, recycle or repurpose up to 95% of typical salon waste, including hair, metals, plastics, paper, chemicals, sharps, razors, disposables, old equipment, even ponytails! If you have something not on this list, please ask.
We currently service metro and regional salons all across Australia and New Zealand. If you are wondering whether that includes you, please register your interest and one of our friendly Sustainability Experts will be in touch.
The program is designed to be cost-neutral to your business. Aside from a small set up fee, there is an ongoing membership fee tailored to your business size, number of clients and resource recovery needs. However, the way the program is structured, the resource recovery fee will not be an overhead for your business. Talk to one of our friendly Sustainability Experts to find out more.
We sure do! We know space can be a premium in smaller salons. That's why we offer three different bin sizes to suit every business. Chat to one of our friendly Sustainability Experts and they will ensure you get the coverage that best suits you.
Good news - the answer is no. We're keen to encourage as many salons as possible to embrace sustainable practices by keeping things easy. No need to pre-wash a thing due to our advanced processing facilities. The only request we have is that any pet fur is free of fleas, matting and faeces (yikes!).
