A hairdresser wants to give hair a second life… by recycling it

Your hair could soon serve the green cause. It is in all that has the idea that had Thierry Gras, a hairdresser installed in Saint-Zacharie (Var). For this, he created the association "Coiffeurs Justes", which fights for the development of ecological equipment in hairdressing salons but also for... hair recycling!

Insulation, fertilizer, depolluting…

Didn't you know these could be reused? And yet... Thierry Gras works with the association "Ecole Science Provence", which studies the different uses of this material:insulation, fertilizer or even depolluting water... Your centimeters of cut hair could have more interest than you thought , especially since the quantities are enormous:in Provence, there would be "10 tons cut per year", estimates the hairdresser in Var Matin .

Thierry Gras' goal? Train "fair hairdressers", involving colleagues and clients in a sustainable approach, in order to develop new practices in salons. A hairdresser at the forefront of innovation!
