LET’S TALK TRASH,
and why recycling is so important in your salon. ♻
Recycling is not the only way to combat waste in your salon -
but is still so important until we expand other ways to reduce waste at the start through policy and industry change.
We have multiple ways to support your salon recycling journey through
free education, personalized tools and services, and policies to support a more circular economy in the salon industry.

EDUCATION
Recycling only works if we all work together. It’s easy to get caught up in doing something positive and uplifting, but getting too excited and not doing it correctly or mindfully.
We have curated recycling education for beauty professionals and salons to help them understand how to recycle beauty and salon waste the best way possible.

TOOLS & SERVICES
Recycling can be hard if you feel like you are doing it by yourself, but it doesn’t have to feel like that. We have the tools and services here to help your recycling journey: from recycling services with Green Salon Collective all across the mainland US, to guided workbooks, to looking for local resources for your recycling needs.

POLICES & PLEDGES
Recycling relies on innovation, funding, follow through, and regulation. We have here a list of updated policies, acts, and pledges to get involved in and keep an eye on.
You involvement is important because there has to be support in order for change.
Sign a petition, support through your business, write to your state or national representative, or stand your ground.
