"When most people sit down in a stylist's chair, they're prepping for a relaxing experience that will leave them looking and feeling good. But neither they -- nor, often, the salon workers -- are thinking about the tremendous impact they have on the environment at that moment. But it's not their fault. There hasn't been much education about the impact, and in the past, there has been a dearth of solutions," said Shane Price, CEO of Green Circle Salons. "Fortunately, this is a problem that can be fixed, which is our mission here at Green Circle."

Key Points: 
  • Adding up to a staggering 421,000 pounds daily, according to Green Circle Salon's first Circle of Impact Report.
  • This report examines two themes: the overarching impact of salon waste on the environment and the attitudes of salon professionals towards this critical issue.
  • According to Green Circle data, the salon industry in the US and Canada generates an astonishing 877 pounds of waste per minute.
  • The largest contributors to waste are:
    Hair Clippings: Beauty waste includes a whopping 63,000 pounds of hair every day, which emits potent greenhouse gasses when left to decompose.
