Sustainability

• Davines product are sulphate- and paraben-free, cruelty-free. that use naturally derived ingredients. Davines have strong sustainable and ethical approaches and strive to minimise environmental impact with their packaging and chemical ingredients.
  –
• Some of Davines packaging can be recycled for other uses around the home. For example:
  food containers or pot plants. 70% of the products ingredients including colour are biodegradable within 30days which leaves minimal impact to the environment when being washed into our waterways.
  –
• We use Bio Towels are a biodegradable towel made from a wood fibre which is 100% natural, biodegradable, recyclable, sustainable, hygienic and germ-free in conjunction with rubber collars over our capes on our clients has led to a reduction in the number of towels laundered on a daily basis.
  –
• We used reusable biodegradable gloves.
  –

• We recycle all paper, plastic, glass and cardboard
–
• Try to be a paperless as possible. Guest information cards are laminated so they can be wiped over and reused.
–
• Receipts can be emailed if requested.
–
• Collection of chemical waste instead of flushing it through waterways.
–

• Our daily salon cleaning products are from the Ecostore Company which has a sustainable approach to all aspects and uses safer, healthier natural ingredients.
–
• We have a collection of plants for their ability to tolerate low-light, live indoors and filter CO2 and harmful chemicals from the air such as ammonia, formaldehyde and benzene.
_

• Where possible we have implemented solar as our source of energy with the exception of our heating devices that are all switched off when not being used.
  –
• We have placed LED lighting throughout the caravan which generates less energy, lasts longer and do not emit heat.
  –
• Most salon lighting is switched off when we are closed, the exceptions being our solar lighting outside of the salon, security and internet.
  –

• The salon being an 1960’s vintage caravan, we are not contributing to land being taken over for more retail spaces to be built.
  –
• Rehomed fixtures and appliances from the original layout of salon.
  –

• We have installed a water saving showerhead on the basin, which doubles the water pressure and uses 40% less water. We use chlorine free water leaving your hair softer, smoother and in better condition.
  –

We strive to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility for the
hairdressing industry. We hope to educate other Napier salons on how they can make a positive impact on the environment and commit to being sustainable with the help of http://sustainablesalons.org/ to supply a waste collection service.
