How do you dispose of Scrummi towels?

Scrummi towels are made from plant-based fibres and are non-toxic. This means they can be safely disposed of in any commercial waste stream. Under perfect conditions, Scrummi products can decompose within 3 months.

Scrummi towels and sheets are suitable for commercial composting alongside other non-food compostables such as food packaging, coffee cups etc.

How are my products packaged?

As part of our ongoing mission to eradicate single-use plastics from our packaging most of our towels and sheets are packed in recyclable cardboard boxes.

What’s so good about Scrummi products?

Scrummi products have the Scrummi waffle texture so there is no mistaking us! Our towelling products are super absorbent making them perfect for salons and spas, as well as helping you to save time, energy and money every year by reducing your business's laundry requirements.

How do Scrummi products differ from cotton towels?

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.

How can a Scrummi towel be better for the environment than a cotton towel?

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.

What are the benefits for salons and spas in switching to Scrummi?

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.

What are Scrummi’s eco-credentials?

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.
