Proudly part of the Green Salon Collective since 2021. Nail dust, PPE, foils, plastics and pedicure waste — all responsibly recycled or converted to energy. Nothing to landfill.
Green Salon Collective Member Certified since 2021 — one of the first beauty salons in Torbay to join the UK's leading eco salon network.
We became Torbay's first beauty salon to join the Green Salon Collective in 2021 — and it was one of our proudest moments. The beauty industry generates an enormous amount of waste, and for years we felt the frustration of having no responsible way to deal with it.
The most damaging waste of all is nail dust. As a micro plastic, it never breaks down in landfill — ever. Through the Green Salon Collective, our nail dust is now collected, converted into energy and fed back into the national grid. It feels extraordinary that something so harmful can be turned into something so useful.
We also attend monthly Green Salon Collective education sessions to stay up to date with new recycling solutions as they emerge. Being eco-conscious isn't a one-off decision — it's an ongoing commitment.
Here's exactly what happens to the waste produced at our salon — and where it goes instead of landfill.
The Green Salon Collective is a UK-wide network that provides beauty salons with the infrastructure to responsibly manage their waste. They handle the collection, sorting and responsible disposal of everything from nail dust to salon chemicals — things that simply cannot go into standard recycling or landfill.
They've partnered with First Mile to manage the complex task of sorting salon plastics, and their long-term goal is to find industry-specific closed-loop solutions for every type of salon waste. We attend their education sessions monthly to stay ahead of what's possible.
Our commitment to the environment doesn't stop at recycling. Every product used in the salon — from gel polishes to cleaning products — is chosen with our clients' wellbeing and the planet in mind.
When you visit Zoe Lavender, you're supporting a salon that takes its environmental responsibilities seriously — without compromising on the quality of your treatment.
