Earth Day (April 22nd, mark those calendars) is the perfect excuse to ditch wasteful habits and swap them out for some planet-friendly alternatives. Because nothing says ‘sustainable’ quite like a salon that looks good AND does good!
And now, there’s even more reason to celebrate! Scrummi is rolling out new, improved, and fully compostable packaging across our hair and spa product range. This means even less waste and more sustainability in every step of your salon experience.
So, if you’re still using old-school cotton towels and plastic capes (yikes!), let’s show you how to switch things up with some eco-friendly swaps that are just as amazing but way kinder to the planet.
1. Ditch the Laundry – Grab Some Eco Towels!
Salon towels – we know they're traditional, but wow, do they guzzle water and energy. Not to mention, who really enjoys spending hours doing laundry? Not us! Scrummi Disposable Hairdressing Towels are super soft, ultra-absorbent, and completely compostable. Yep, just use, dispose, and no more endless washing cycles. The planet wins, your energy bill wins, and, let’s be honest, YOU win.
2. Plastic Aprons? Not in 2024!
We know single-use plastic contributes to long-term environmental pollution. So why are we still using plastic salon capes? Instead, switch to biodegradable Scrummi Salon Capes. They look just as sleek, keep you covered, and when you’re done they break down naturally without harming the planet!
3. Turn Down the Tap (Your water bill will thank you)
Salons go through A LOT of water, on a daily basis. But with water-efficient shower heads like ECOHEADS, you can cut down on water use by up to 65%. More savings, less waste, still amazing hair.
Want to take it even further? Pairing ECOHEADS with Scrummi towels means eliminating laundry altogether – no more costly water bills, no more wasted energy, just a simple, sustainable solution that keeps your salon running smoothly. Now that’s a win-win!
4. Eco-Friendly Hair Products = Happy Planet, Happy Clients!
Stocking hair products with sustainable ingredients and packaging? Absolute must. Brands like Davines, Kevin Murphy, and Ethique are leading the charge with solid shampoos, biodegradable packaging, and ingredients that don’t mess with Mother Earth. Plus, your eco-conscious clients will love you for it.
5. Refills > Landfill
Refillable shampoo and conditioner stations? Genius. Encourage clients to bring back empty bottles for refills and reduce plastic waste in the process. It’s like a loyalty program, but for the planet. Plus, have you heard about the Great British Beauty Clean Up? This nationwide movement is rallying salons and beauty businesses to cut plastic waste and champion sustainability. By offering refills and switching to eco-friendly alternatives, you’re not just doing good for your salon—you’re joining a bigger beauty revolution!
And for your disposable items, make sure they’re compostable – like, Scrummi’s entire range!
The Final Word…
Earth Day is the perfect time to rethink how your salon operates and make swaps that don’t just look good but do good. Whether it’s switching to Scrummi’s eco-friendly disposable towels, cutting back on water waste, or embracing refillable products, every small change adds up to a big impact.
So, let’s get swapping, and saving – for the planet, for your salon, and for the future. Happy Earth Day!
