Did you know that you can recycle up to 95% of salon waste?

Today I’m joined by J.C Aucamp, the co-founder of Salon Sustainability. He will be sharing some seriously important stuff in this interview on better practices to help make your salon and barbering business become more sustainable in 2021. You’re going to learn today on how you can recycle up to 95% of salon waste which includes aluminium foils, colour tubes, hair, plastic and paper, and how you can run a PPE Recovery programme.

Salon Sustainability is all about doing things designed to make recycling easy for our industry.  Whether you’re a freelance hairdresser, employed or self employed, Salon Sustainability allows you to do your part for the environment and future generations.

The mantra of Salon Sustainability says, ‘Together we can create a better future for our planet’. And after hearing this conversation with J.C, I hope that it will inspire you to starting making you play your part towards this.
