RCBC Environmental Awards 2017


Jen with 2017 Recycling Council of BC Award

 

We are very excited to have been honoured with the Private Sector Award from the Recycling Council of BC for Organizations or their employees with outstanding initiatives to preserve and protect our environment.

 

Clover Earthkind Salon was the recipient of the 2017 RCBC Environmental Award for the private sector category. Clover Earthkind Salon has been actively reducing their solid waste and diverting recyclable materials away from the landfill for 8 years, and has been zero waste since 2013. Last year the diversion rate at the salon was 99.3% and they only generated 2kg of garbage. Clover Earthkind Salon has found diversion solutions for materials commonly found in the salon, including 43kg of hair clippings each year through composting. Recycled and reclaimed materials were used in the salon’s construction; and in their operations they focus on recycled, reusable, biodegradable, non-toxic, and renewable wherever possible. Through all these efforts, the salon was able to save 1.9 tonnes of GHGs last year.
