How it works

Step 1

Receive

We’ll provide you with containers for use and for backup.

Step 2

Fill

Start using your container as per the YES/NO label guidelines. Fill the container to just under the 3/4 full warning line. See FAQ for more info.

Step 3

Seal

Once your contents reach just under the warning line, screw lid tight to seal. See FAQ for more info.

Step 4

Place

Place a single sealed container in your Linnk bag for your next collection, and ensure that you check YES to “is there a chemical container inside bag?” when requesting your next collection on The Hub.

Salon chemical waste is any liquid chemicals used in a salon, like shampoo and conditioner, peroxide/ developer, colour solutions (tints, semis, lightener), perm liquid, acetone, tanning solution and straightening liquid.

The Chemloop program is already included in your membership. You will receive 2 containers, one for use and one for backup via delivery to your salon. Please reach out to your account manager if you feel you need an extra container.

The Chemloop program enables your salon to safely discard their chemical waste instead of rinsing them down the drain and entering your local waste water system. Local treatment systems are equipped to filter out standard hazards and pollutants but not always when they are in higher concentrations. Chemicals such as those handled in your salon may cause undue water pollution.

Using your Chemloop container is also a great way to track your salon’s waste. This enables you to take informed actions to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.

Please refer to the label on your Chemloop container for a YES/NO list of chemicals and materials.

  • Peroxide/developer
  • Colour solutions (tints, semis, lightener)
  • Perm liquid
