How to Recycle Your Foil the Easy Way
Recycling your Eco Foils is simple, rewarding, and great for the planet! Just follow these easy steps to keep waste out of landfill and make a real difference.
Scrunch It Up
There’s no need to clean off leftover product – simply scrunch your used foils into a ball. The bigger, the better! Aim for about the size of a tennis ball to make recycling easier.
Place It in Your Recycling Bin
Pop your foil balls into your designated recycling bin at the salon. Keep adding to the bin until it’s full – it’s the easiest way to stay organised!
Find the Best Option for You
Drop it off at your local scrap metal yard – they’ll recycle your foil and might even pay you cash for it!
Partner with organisations like Sustainable Salons, which can pick up your recycling bins and handle the recycling for you.
Why Recycling Matters
Aluminium is infinitely recyclable – it can come back as another can, car part or more foil.
Recycling aluminium saves up to 95% of the energy needed to produce new aluminium.
Recycled aluminium foil takes only 5% of the energy used to produce a virgin aluminium foil, and can be recycled many times over.
Recycling aluminium can save up to 8kg of bauxite (virgin mineral), 4kg of chemicals, and 14,000 watts of electricity.
You’re Making a Difference
By choosing Eco Foils and recycling every foil, you’re joining a movement of sustainable stylists creating a positive impact.
Let’s keep it going – one foil ball at a time!
