Ginger & Maude Hair Salons are Certified Sustainable Salons through our partnership with Green Circle Salons, which allows us to recycle the beauty waste generated through our day-to-day operations. Not only does this keep it from entering our landfills and water systems, but once we ship it to them, they are able to recycle, recover, and repurpose it, giving it new life.
Recovered metals are:
- Cleaned to remove chemical contaminants
- Melted down and reused multiple times
- Used to make new products like car parts and bicycles
Recovered color waste is:
- Safely incinerated in a closed-loop system
- Converted into clean energy for local power grids
- Separated into water and oil; the water is cleaned and returned to the water system, and the oil is blended into fuel
Recovered hair can be:
- Composted with organic materials
- Repurposed into bio-composite products like sustainable combs and recycling bins
- Used to research and develop new environmental technology like insulation and stormwater filtration
- Made into products to be used for humanitarian applications
Recovered plastics (such as product bottles) are:
- Sorted and processed by material type
- Mechanically recycled and re-pelletized
- Used to create new plastic products like shampoo bottles
Recovered gloves from services are:
- Safely incinerated
- Turned into clean, renewable energy to power homes and businesses
- Used to make filler in asphalt and other construction materials, like brick
Turns out, glow-ups aren’t just for humans. By working with Green Circle Salons, we help our beauty waste transform into the best version of itself.
