Nothing beats a soft, fluffy towel right? Unfortunately most salon towels are worn, stiff, scratchy and stained. Scrummi towels guarantee a soft, plush, supe hygienic towel for every client. Even better, there is no washing so you could completely eradicate laundry in your business!

Scrummis are single use and plant-based meaning that they are naturally biodegradable and hypoallergenic.

 As they are single-use, Scrummi towels are also super cost-effective.  With cotton towels, you need to buy the towel, wash the towels, buy the machines to wash them, service the machines, and pay for energy, water and endless supplies of detergent. To find out how much you could be saving every year head over to our cost-saving calculator.

Cotton towel usage within the hair and beauty industry has a huge environmental impact due to the amount of washing needed to keep them hygienic.

The average cost of laundering salon cotton towels is around £0.55 per towel — and that number is a whole lot bigger for larger salon and spa towels. If you own or run a busy beauty salon, spa, or hair salon, your cotton towels are costing you a fortune.

Scrummi towels are designed to be used once and disposed of, and because they are made from natural wood fibres, they will naturally biodegrade, eradicating the need for laundry and saving salons and spas time, energy and money.

Salons and spas that switch to Scrummi can expect to save time, energy, and money every year. By using Scrummi you reduce the hours spent laundering towels, and eliminate the costs associated with laundry, ultimately helping to lower energy bills.

Scrummi is a certified B Corporation and also holds the EN13432 composability certifications from TÜV Austria. The certification, also known as Seedling, confirms that under optimal conditions, Scrummi products will biodegrade completely within 100 days.
