Your Salon Can Make a Difference
See how much you could save from landfills and waterways every year.
Today, 63,000 pounds of hair gets thrown away every day. Every garbage bag of hair produces greenhouse gases as it tries to break down, which contributes to climate change.
You can help change that.

Today, over 42,000 pounds of excess hair color, lightener and toner is thrown away every day. When rinsed down the drain, it can find its way back into our drinking water and soil.

Although PPE is necessary to keep salon guests and staff safe, it means added waste. Our PPE program recovers materials like gloves, masks and disinfectant wipes and gives it a new life.
Today, single use items – like nail files, waxing strips and cotton swabs – make up a large portion of beauty waste that ends up in our landfills.
You can help change that.

Today, more than half the waste thrown away in salons is paper and plastic. If not properly recycled, these items clutter our landfills. For salons that don’t have access to a local recycling program, we recycle their paper and plastics.
Thanks to our 16,000+ Waste Warriors, this is the total amount of beauty waste we’ve kept out of landfills and waterways since 2009.
It’s important to be as sustainable as possible to give back to the earth. Clients want to contribute their dollars to something that’s actually making a change.
