A HAIR SALON WITH NO COST TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
Our commitment to being Green
You may not have thought it, but hair salons generate a lot of waste. From energy and water waste to chemical, toxins and packaging waste. it is the mission of BINKS to cut these factors down as much as we possibly can! We are constantly reassessing our procedures and making the necessary changes to reduce our carbon footprint and still deliver high-end fashionable hair, because there really is no planet B!
Water
Our water is filtered through EcoHeads shower heads, creating double the pressure while using 65% less water. The unique filtration-system helps to reduce chlorine and generates negative ions as water goes through, which softens the hair for a smoother end result.
Energy
Our energy provider only uses renewable energy. With Opus Advance, our electricity comes from renewable sources including solar, wind, hydro and anaerobic digestion (AD).
Waste
We use 2 waste disposal companies to make sure we've left no stone unturned! Grist Environmental, disposes of our Non Recycled General Waste and Dry Mixed Recycling. Any residual waste (waste which cannot be recycled) is sent to ‘Energy Recovery’ enabling zero waste to landfill! The second company we use is the Green Salon Collective. They collect the foils we've used in colouring work, empty colour cans and hair cuttings to clean and recycle! your hair is also recycled into one of the following; local and/or industrial compost or fertiliser, hair booms to soak up oil spills, hair mats to cover storm drains, reiterative bio manufacturing, wool alternatives, hair felt for potting plants, rope hair making, art- some of your hair may of already showcased in museums throughout the UK and Europe!
Towels
It's no secret thats hairdressers produce a lot of laundry increasing energy and water waste. Our single use, EasyDry towels are not only extremely hygienic, they are 100% biodegradable and take only 12 weeks to fully degrade.
Furniture
Almost all of the furniture in BINKS has been recycled from previous salons or up-cycled from local charity shops.
Products
Every product company we use are sustainable and carbon neutral! Davines is certified B Corp, meeting the highest sustainability standards. For every product sold by Davines Group in 2022, an equal amount of ocean-bound plastic will be collected and removed from the coastal locations of Brazil, Indonesia and the Philippines, obtaining the Plastic Neutral Certification of our products from Plastic Bank.
Goldwell and KMS uses biodegradable formulations in their ingredients. Our colour dosage system ensures that zero rate is left behind in every can. they are constantly working at reducing their CO2 emissions, energy and water waste.
