Certified Green Circle Salon
Last year alone Heartbreaker prevented over
450
of waste from going into landfills and entering eco-systems.
we make it all happen with:
Hair
Most of our hair is processed into hair-booms for oil spill clean up efforts. Other uses include University studies in using human hair for sustainable building techniques, organic agricultural practices and experimental medical applications.
Plastics
Plastics are sent to plants that take salon-specific waste and therefore have a tolerance for some chemical and hair product residue. The plastics are processed and made into new consumer products like stationary and playground equipment.
Chemicals
Stored in a facility until processing plant minimums are reached, the chemicals are then broken down with a complex process that removes the water and salts before the remaining material can be incinerated, used in fuel sources, or other repurposing.
Metals
Through a specialized process at a local facility, metal waste is decontaminated of bleach and colour residue. This leaves clean aluminum and steel that can be recycled into new consumer products like bicycle frames and playground equipment.
