Materials we collect

  • Hair

    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.

  • 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.

  • Paper

    Whether it’s the magazines that keep your clients occupied, cardboard packaging from your products, wooden spatulas or just plain old office paper, we’ve got you covered.

  • Tools

    Tools like hair dryers, clippers, curling wands and straighteners can all be collected, recycled responsibly and diverted from landfill.

  • Chemicals

    Instead of salon chemicals being rinsed down the sink and polluting our waterways, we help give them a second life by neutralising them to be reused as recycled water.

  • Ponytails

    Ponytail donations from your salon clients can be used to create high-quality charitable medical wigs for those suffering medically induced hair loss.

    What's up with the bins?

    • We provide you with four separation bins to collect your materials,. These bins come in three different sizes to fit your salon space. 

      Collections are either fortnightly or on demand, depending on volume.

      - We have three bin sizes to suit salons of all shapes and sizes.

      - You have the freedom to select the number and size of bins to suit your recycling needs.

      - Have your own bins? No worries! You can put our stickers onto the bins already in your salon. 

    Get on board

    Got questions?

    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 don’t just work with inner city salons. Our unique and well established network of drivers and processing depots enable us to service both urban and regional salons across both Australia and New Zealand, and to ensure materials are processed as locally and sustainably as possible. 

    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!).
