End-of-Life Recycling for Scrummi Towels: Preparing for the New 2025 Waste Regulation

Sustainable Solutions for Hair Salons

As sustainability becomes a priority in the beauty industry, the New 2025 Waste Regulation, Simpler Recycling, is set to introduce significant changes in waste management for UK salons. From March  31st, 2025 for those with 10 or more full-time equivalent staff in England, the new regulation will require the separation and recycling of specific waste streams, including paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, and food waste.

What This Means for Your Salon

Good news, how you dispose of your Scrummi towels won’t require any changes under the new regulation. However salons looking to enhance their sustainability efforts can take advantage of recycling and composting options for maximum eco-ness. Scrummi is here to help you navigate these changes with eco-friendly solutions that align with waste management best practices.

How Scrummi Supports Sustainable Salon Practices

  • 100% Compostable & Biodegradable: Made from renewable plant-based fibres, Scrummi towels can be composted or disposed of in organic waste streams.
  • No more laundry: Traditional cotton towels require water, energy, and detergent for cleaning. Switching to Scrummi towels eliminates these hidden costs.
