At Green Salon Collective, we’re always looking for new ways to make the hairdressing industry more sustainable. With National Tree Week taking place from this week, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can give back to the environment and help restore the world’s forests. Trees play a vital role in absorbing carbon, supporting biodiversity, and combating climate change—so why not use this opportunity to help salons like yours make a real difference?
Here’s how you can get involved with our eco-friendly initiatives this National Tree Week and support tree planting, carbon offsetting, and sustainable salon practices.
Carbon Offsetting from Just £20 per Stylist
Did you know that your salon can offset its carbon emissions for as little as £20 per stylist? Our Carbon Offsetting Programme allows you to make a direct contribution towards reforestation projects. By offsetting your emissions, you can balance out your salon’s environmental impact and help to restore vital forests, which in turn capture carbon and combat climate change.
It’s an easy and affordable way for salons to become more eco-friendly, and it’s a great way to show your clients that you’re committed to sustainability! We only support gold start offsetting projects, that are highly vetted.

Replant Salon Towels: Sustainable Towels, Sustainable World
Our Replant Salon Towels are another fantastic way to take care of both your clients and the planet. These towels are made from natural fibres derived from trees, making them fully biodegradable. Even better, for every order of Replant Towels, we plant a tree on your behalf!
So, while you’re cutting hair and styling, you can rest assured that your salon is actively contributing to global reforestation efforts. It’s a small change that makes a big difference!
Compost Your Salon Waste and Grow New Trees
One of the most exciting aspects of our sustainable solutions is our hair recycling composting programme. Both Replant Towels and hair clippings from your salon can be composted, turning waste into something that nurtures the environment. When composted, these materials can be used to grow new trees, improve soil health, and support the growth of stronger, healthier plants.
By choosing to compost with Green Salon Collective, you’re helping to close the loop on salon waste and contributing directly to a greener future.
Boost Tree Growth at Home with Hair Clippings
Ever wondered what else you can do with all those hair clippings? Turns out, they’re a great natural fertiliser! Hair is rich in nitrogen, which can give a major growth boost to non-edible trees and plants in your garden or community. By using hair as a fertiliser, you can help trees grow without the need for harmful chemicals.
It’s a simple, eco-friendly way for your salon to extend its green efforts beyond the chair and help nurture nature in your local area.
Join the Movement This National Tree Week
National Tree Week is the UK’s largest tree-planting celebration, making it the perfect time to reflect on the role salons can play in the fight against climate change. Whether you’re offsetting carbon, switching to our Replant Towels, or composting your salon waste, each action you take adds up to make a lasting difference.
At Green Salon Collective, we believe that every salon has the power to create positive environmental change. By embracing sustainable practices, you can build a better future for our planet while showing your clients that you care about more than just great hair.
