HOW DOES A GREEN CIRCLE SALON HELP THE ENVIRONMENT?
HAIR CLIPPINGS – Green Circle turns hair clippings that we recycle into hair booms, which are used to help clean up large oil spills.
HAIR COLOR & CHEMICALS – Instead of washing chemical bowls an pouring excess hair color down the drain, we collect them in a designated container. We have found that we save several pounds of product waste each week. Green Circle collects the waste and disposes of unused products safely, using special enzymes to break them down, keeping them out of our local waterways and the ocean.
PLASTIC & METALS – Green Circle repurposes metal color tubes and hair foils for reuse in everything from cars to playground equipment.
SINGLE USE ITEMS – Items such as makeup applicators, waxing strips and cottons swabs are used in a waste-to-energy process to create clean renewable energy and the leftover ash can be as a filler in asphalt.
