Announces new impact milestones alongside its participation in the UK’s leading beauty recycling campaign.
Published:Through its annual Sustainability Certificates, Scrummi provides salons with verified data demonstrating the realworld environmental and operational impact of switching from traditional towel laundering to 100% biodegradable, single-use professional towels.
Across Scrummi partner salons in 2025, the transition delivered significant results:
• 15 million litres of water saved
• 3.5 million kg of CO2 emissions avoided
• 48% reduction in transport footprint
• Thousands of staff hours reclaimed from laundry tasks
• Substantial savings in water, energy, labour and detergent costs
These results reflect real usage data across Scrummi salons, underscoring how small operational changes can drive meaningful environmental progress without compromising hygiene, performance or client experience.
Traditional salon laundry is a major consumer of water, energy and chemicals.
With a single wash using up to 150 litres of water, daily towel laundering across thousands of salons creates a significant environmental burden.
By removing laundry from routine operations, salons can dramatically reduce resource consumption while improving efficiency.
Sustainability as a Professional Standard
Sustainability is increasingly shaping client expectations and business decisions across the professional beauty sector. With growing demand for responsible practices, salons are seeking solutions that align environmental responsibility with commercial performance.
Scrummi’s compostable towel solutions support professionals across hair, beauty and skin services by:
• Reducing water and energy consumption
• Minimising chemically contaminated wastewater
• Supporting carbon reduction goals
• Simplifying operations and lowering overhead costs
• Providing certified compostable professional consumables
Supporting National Beauty Recycling Efforts
In March, Scrummi will support the Great British Beauty Clean Up 2026, a nationwide initiative led by the British Beauty Council through its Sustainable Beauty Coalition to improve recycling access, reduce beauty waste and advance circular practices industry-wide.
Taking place during B Corp Awareness Month, the campaign aligns brands, salons, spas and retailers around shared sustainability goals, including improved recycling infrastructure, take-back programmes and education around hard-to-recycle beauty packaging. As part of its involvement, Scrummi will collaborate with industry leaders, support recycling awareness and provide solutions to help professional businesses reduce waste within daily operations.
Circular Solutions for the Professional Beauty Sector
Scrummi’s broader sustainability initiatives include:
• 100% biodegradable product ranges for professional use
• Waste reduction strategies across operations
• Professional beauty recycling support through MyGroup Recycling Bins
• Eco-conscious packaging innovation
• A public beauty recycling drop-off point at Scrummi HQ in West Malling
These initiatives are designed to help salons and spas meet growing sustainability expectations while strengthening operational resilience and client trust.
A Practical Path to Sustainable Beauty
Scrummi’s approach is built on a simple principle: sustainability should be measurable, achievable and commercially viable for professional businesses. By combining verified impact reporting, compostable professional products and active support for national recycling initiatives, Scrummi continues to help hair, beauty and skin professionals transition toward lower-impact, future-ready salon operations.
Scrummi’s new impact milestones alongside its participation in the UK’s leading beauty recycling campaign, reinforce its mission to make sustainability practical, measurable and profitable for professional hair, beauty and skin businesses.
