New Recycling Program Targets Environmentally Conscious Salons

by NLS Staff | August 30, 2017

Green Circle Salons is an environmental services company that caters directly to the beauty industry, collecting and recycling or repurposing 95% of salon and spa waste. Originating in Canada, the company is branching into North America with a program that launched in July. Green Circle Salons collects polish bottles, product containers, foil wraps, files, papers, plastics, electronics and other spa materials, and prevents them from entering a landfill or waterways. Not only can it help your salon be green, but it can save money and even gain new clientele that cares about supporting environmentally conscious brands. Green Circle Salons also offers a sustainable salon certification.
