How hair salons going green - ABC Nightlife Feature

Hair salons are a place of pampering and relaxation—but have you ever thought about where all that hair on the floor ends up? More and more salons are embracing sustainability, recycling hair into unexpected items that make a positive impact. 

In this insightful radio segment, Belinda Chellingworth, a circular economy expert and principal consultant (or 'garbologist') at BC Consulting, joins Bern Young to discuss the work of Sustainable Salons and how the program is transforming salon waste. 

Together, they explore how the different materials found in salons are given a second life and how the next generation of hairdressers is being taught to prioritise sustainability, making a lasting impact on the industry and beyond. Belinda also shares other industries and programs that are focusing on recycling and the circular economy.
