D’or is stepping into the future as a sustainable salon.

You may be surprised to learn that the salon industry sends more than 1,500 tons of recyclable aluminium back to landfill each year in Australia and New Zealand alone. That’s one and a half million kgs, about 715 cars, or 4 jumbo jets!

Unfortunately, aluminium doesn’t degrade easily, it actually contaminates the soil for 500 years. Add to this the wasted resources of plastics, colour tubes, hair clippings and more, and you can see that beauty at any price is no long an option.

After joining Sustainable Salons, D’or is set to change all this.

D’or now recycles up to 95% of resources used within the salon just by being a part of the Sustainable Salons program. We are committed to sustainable growth that encourages social responsibility and respect for the planet. This simple initiative can make all the difference to what were once valuable resources headed for landfill becoming a future resource.

What’s more, all proceeds earned from the sales of metal and paper recycling are donated to OzHarvest and KiwiHarvest to fund meals for disadvantaged people – Sustainable Salons donates more than 5,500 meals every month! Collected ponytails are sent directly to charitable wig-makers and organisations to provide charitable wigs for those suffering from alopecia or cancer, while hair clippings are made into items such as Hair Booms used in oil-spill clean-up operations, OLED displays and even Hairy Soil.
