Join the Fight Against Plastic Pollution: How Salon Business Solutions Is Leading the Way in Sustainable Hair Care 

A recent report in The Lancet highlights a staggering $1.5 trillion plastics crisis affecting our health and the planet. At Salon Business Solutions, we’ve been committed to sustainable hair care since we launched 4 years ago, and we know that change is essential, we’re asking hair and beauty professionals to join us and take a stand!  

Why This Matters 

Plastic production has skyrocketed more than 200 times since 1950, especially with single-use plastics. This crisis is linked to health issues affecting people of all ages and costs us over $1.5 trillion each year in health-related damages. Plastic is a serious threat that we must address now. At Salon Business Solutions, we’re not just about sustainable products; we’re also taking action. Our warehouse uses non-plastic tape and avoids plastic infills for all orders, and we always recycle in our office. 

Embracing Sustainability in Hair Care

We proudly partner with brands that share our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Our selection of vegan and cruelty-free hair products is perfect for salon owners and professionals wanting to make a positive impact. Plus, all our brands use no plastic or recycled/recyclable plastic. Here’s how some of them are tackling the crisis: 

• Hair Collective: Focusing on sustainability, using natural and recycled materials. Their foils are free from laminated plastics, showing their commitment to reducing waste. They also donate a portion of profits to sustainability projects, like tree planting with Ecologi.
• O&M: Working on sustainability for over a decade, they are moving to recyclable plastic post consumer recycled plastic known as PCR to reduce waste.

The Importance of Recycling 

At Salon Business Solutions, we know that packaging matters. Many of our brands use PET, a recyclable material that supports a circular economy. However, not all parts, like black lids, are easy to recycle due to sorting issues and we recommend switching these out to your main waste.  

We encourage you to help your clients by explaining which parts of packaging can be recycled. Awareness is key to reducing plastic waste and fighting the plastic pollution crisis.
