In 2020 when the salon was closed for the first time due to the pandemic I was left with the gift of time to review my business. During this time I took a long look at all the stock, and had time to review my bills. This lead to me realising that we waste to much, water, energy and rubbish.

I then went onto see how i could change. It was easy to change lighting and electric supplier but what do i do with all the rubbish we have. All salons have the same problem with chemicals, foiled, hair and of course plastic. Along with PPE. It was impossible for the council to process these so land fill is where it was going. I was told it was un- recyclable.

But i kept looking and i came across the green salon collective. They claimed to be able to recycle the un recyclable.  It was set up by a group of salons for salons. After doing the training i joined. 

Now I’m pleased to say we recycle 90% of our rubbish. Please check out the link to see where it goes.
