Why CLIC RECYCLE
Clic Recycle's mission is to foster a sustainable and thriving circular economy where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. Our commitment revolves around implementing innovative solutions that prioritise environmental conservation while harnessing the vast potential of a valuable and abundantly available regenerative resource - human hair.
Through responsible practices of waste reutilization transformed into organic eco-friendly solutions, we aim to minimize waste and improve our ecological footprint by using products that eliminate the use of plastic in many industries.
Hair Waste
Our planet is home to an exponential resource of 8,1 billion people. Every year, 2.2 billion kilograms of hair waste is generated globally from hair salons and ends up in landfills or is burned, causing significant harm upon our environment.
When human hair waste is disposed of in plastic bags and ends up in landfills it produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released into the atmosphere. When human hair waste is burned it also releases extremely toxic gases which worsen air quality. Furthermore, hair waste can clog drains and waterways, impacting our health.
Recycling Hair Waste
Human hair can be recycled and converted into new products with many uses, but they require hair to be disposed of in a responsible way in order to mitigate environmental risks.
Through our recycling service and waste management system, hair waste is processed into new products to minimize the negative impact on the environment.
Circular Economy, Closed Loop Systems & Clic Recycle
The circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting.
The circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges like biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. In our current economy, we take materials from the Earth, make products from them, and eventually throw them away as waste –a process that remains linear. In a circular economy, by contrast, we stop waste being produced in the first place by reusing resources that already exist.
Clic Recycle works with a transformative force in haircare, reshaping the industry through innovation, education, and sustainability. Our mission is to minimize the negative impact on the environment by reutilizing hair waste and designing it into a circular system with products that benefit the environment. These products will clean and save water resources, and restore soil for regenerative agriculture and healthy water.
How can it impact your hair salon?
Studies show that customers are increasingly environmentally conscious and concerned about the negative impact waste has on the environment. This is reflected by consumers who are willing to pay more for sustainable services.
By incorporating sustainability into your salon's operations and marketing, you are making a positive impact on the environment while attracting a larger clientele who value eco-friendly practices
What is a Green Fee?
A Green Fee is an optional additional fee of 1-2 € charged to customers which can cover recycling solutions for hair waste produced in the salon. Together, with our seal, it can show customers that your salon is contributing to a sustainable practice, satisfying existing customers and gaining new ones.
Business will benefit for your salon and your customers, to provide sustainable practices and a greener cleaner world.
