We Are Changemakers

As the world faces a serious global climate change crisis, it’s important now more than ever to stand up together and make change happen.

 

We’re proud to have over 16,000 members across North America who are making an impact – one bag of beauty waste at a time. Together, we’re showing our guests and our communities that we make beauty sustainable.

The world is facing a climate crisis. But we’re fighting back.

1,284,437 lbs

of beauty waste was kept out of landfills and waterways by Green Circle Salon Members last year.

85,800 kWh

of clean energy was generated from Waste to Energy last year.

That is enough to power 94 homes for a month or charge over 7,000,000 smartphones!

47 metric tons

of Co2e was avoided by keeping 157 metric tons of single-use waste (hair color, single-use items, PPE) out of the landfill.

That is the same as taking 10 cars off the road for a year.

LANDFILL-FREE VERIFICATION BY NSF

Since September 2025, Green Circle has the Landfill-Free Verification by the NSF. This verification demonstrates that we document where every piece of waste is going and that we have systems in place to reduce waste as well as reuse, recycle or compost materials. NSF also conducts an annual on-site audit to verify that we continue to operate landfill-free. From 2019-2025 we maintained the Zero Waste to Landfill Certification through the Carbon Trust Standard.
