Green Circle Salons provides a sustainable salon solution to recover and repurpose beauty waste ensuring that we can help keep people and the planet beautiful.
We are able to transform beauty waste into a desirable commodity allowing us to repurpose and recover up to 95% of the resources that were once considered waste.
What happens to the materials?
Hair clipping are sent to a local non profit and made into booms to soak up oil spills.
Leftover hair colour and spa waste are mixed with other materials to ensure even heat production. The mixed waste is then placed into incinerators where the heat created warms up water in pipes within the incinerator to create steam. This steam is then funnelled into a turbine, which creates electricity to power the facility with any excess electricity transferred into the local power grid.
Foils, color tubes and aerosol cans the chemicals are removed by filtration or high-heat incineration in the closed loop smelting process where they are made into “Ingots”. These ingots can then be used in other manufacturing applications.
Today more than ever, consumers vote with their dollars and it is important to support companies that are making the changes for a sustainable future. The changes that are being made will make an impact on your own well‐being or that of your children and future generations. This huge step to help Mother Earth will come with a small additional price to every guest that gets a service – a $2.00 eco fee will be added to the cost of your service. Not bad considering the impact it will have on the environment. Think about the difference a couple of years from now, if thousands of people across Canada participate in these changes. Again, together with GCS, we believe that everyone making a small step equals a giant leap for our planet. We are simply planting the seeds now; in that way, we can watch our communities grow to be healthier, more vibrant places to live in the future.
