OLIVIA GARDEN EUROPE and DENMAN INTERNATIONAL are forging a fresh collaboration as inaugural members of the HAIR TOOL COLLECTIVE. The senior teams of both companies have drawn up a charter that defines six clear sustainability aims for the hair tool industry and will be inviting other hair tool manufacturers and brands throughout the industry to join. In an unprecedented move, the competitors have joined forces to lead the way in building stronger industry wide commitment to improving sustainable practices.

Dr John Rainey MBE, Chairman of Denman International says “The Hair Tool Collective is the logical next step in our own sustainability journey. These six aims will maintain and assure our own commitment to sustainability but also, by encouraging collaboration with other companies in the sector, we’ll be helping reduce the negative environmental impact of the hair tool sector as a whole.” Kai Ziekursch, Co-General Manager of Olivia Garden Europe says: “It is deeply rooted in the Purpose of Olivia Garden to commit to greener hairdressing. And tools used by stylists in the salon every day have a significant influence on it.” Olivia Garden’s second General Manager André Harms adds: “In our sector, the quest for sustainability isn’t a solo battle. We’re excited to step beyond competition with this initiative with Denman International and invite more firms to join hands with us in this venture.”

The HTC endeavours to lessen the environmental impact and increase the sustainability of hair tool products with members committing to help bring greater sustainability to the daily lives of hair professionals. The charter has defined six shared objectives, with measurable commitments that aim to have a positive impact on the wider hair industry. The six objectives of the HTC charter are:

1. Promoting sustainable products – We commit to developing and offering more sustainable products and continuously striving to reduce our ecological footprint throughout the lifecycle of our products.
2. Encouraging responsible manufacturing practices – We will adopt eco-responsible manufacturing practices, aiming to minimize waste, optimize the use of natural resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We will also promote a circular economy by advocating for the reuse and recycling of our products.
3. Measuring greenhouse gas emissions – We recognize the importance of measuring and monitoring our greenhouse gas emissions. By understanding our carbon footprint, we can identify opportunities to mitigate our impact and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts.
4. Raising awareness and training hairdressers – We pledge to provide information and training on sustainable practices to hairdressers.
5. Collaboration and knowledge sharing – We recognize the importance of collaboration among hairdressing industry companies to achieve our common goals. We will foster the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and resources, and encourage partnerships with other stakeholders committed to sustainability.
6. Transparency and accountability – We will be transparent about our actions and progress in sustainability. We commit to measuring, monitoring, and regularly reporting our environmental, social, and economic performance.

Denman International and Olivia Garden believe that working together, corporations can make a meaningful difference in the lives of hairdressers, their clients, and the environment.

Dr John Rainey MBE, Chairman Denman International and Victoria Fishman, CEO of Denman USA plus Nadia Grégoire, Brand Partnership Lead of Olivia Garden Europe will officially sign the Hair Tool Collective Charter on Saturday October 14^th at the Salon International Press Office at 1pm.

Sustainability is high on the agenda in both our working practises and development strategy. This includes the sourcing of environmental friendly materials protecting the natural environment, reducing waste and energy consumption, and employing the life-cycle cost analysis.

Choosing business like REM Earth for your project means moving away from a single use mentality and towards one of long term sustainability.

As a Company we are committed to having a positive effect on our environment and hope to drive change in our industry. We have focused our efforts on four areas: our products, our spaces, our deliveries and our green initiatives.

Take a look at the steps we have taken so far.

OUR PRODUCTS

QUALITY 

We pride ourselves in manufacturing premium Salon furniture, built with durability in mind to extend the lifecycle of the product, making sure the items can easily be maintained and repaired to keep the circular economy moving. Our After Sales performance is testament to this statement.

MATERIALS

We prioritise eco-friendly materials and consider their environmental impact at point of purchase and wherever possible our local sourcing policy ensures a reduced Carbon Footprint.

SUPPLIERS

We work with responsible suppliers that share our ethos and strive to produce quality products, whilst also working to reduce their carbon footprint. We look for suppliers that comply with the latest regulations on timber export, prioritise recycled and recyclable material and improve the energy efficiency of their production chain.

OUR SPACES

We are committed to cutting down on all manner of waste in our space, be it paper, metal, plastic or cardboard. Everything in our office and warehouse is separated and recycled to ensure that our impact on our local landfills are kept to a minimum.

1. LED lighting is being fit throughout the factory to reduce energy supply
2. Motion detectors are being installed by area to turn off lights when not needed
3. Company cars are now electric
4. Company Fleet vehicles are all now Euro 6 compliant with electric options being considered for future purchases
5. Company waste is segregated for recycling by type
   1. Wood waste
   2. Pallets
   3. Paper & card
   4. General waste
6. REM materials and fabrics are certified as chemically POP’s free
7. Our printed literature uses paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
8. The inks used in printing processes are vegetable based
9. Where possible our Staff Car Share in their commute to work

11. Paperless Billing is used by our Sales & Invoicing Departments
12. Online advertising is our preferred means of Marketing
13. REM Office Space to improve Oxygen into the office and improve the environmental aesthetic.

OUR DELIVERIES

We have been replacing our fleet of vans with ‘Euro 6’ eco-friendly models, meaning we’ll be able to reduce the CO2 emissions of our entire fleet by almost half. We use the latest ad-blue vehicles (Euro 6 Variant D) reducing the impact of harmful NOx emissions into the atmosphere by 67%, ensuring our fleet is ULEZ compliant.

We manage our logistics with the environment in mind, aiming to reduce our pollution by spending the least amount of time on the road as possible.

Our new Green packaging technique has massively reduced the need for excessive packaging. Furniture is now encased in a re-usable protective cover which following delivery is returned to the factory for re-use.

OUR GREEN INITIATIVES

In 2022 we started working with an environmental group called ‘Just One Tree’ to help increase our Social Responsibility and reduce our Carbon Footprint.

Just One Tree is an organisation dedicated to removing Co2 from the atmosphere and reversing Biodiversity loss through Global deforestation. To date we have completed 3 campaigns and more planned for the future. Our collaboration not only plants trees around the World but also helps educate the next generation in the importance of protecting our Natural World.

Initiatives we have already contributed to include supporting reforestation projects in: Madagascar, Haiti, Indonesia, Mozambique, Nepal, Kenya and Zambia where the deforestation has been devastating.

Did you know that for every 100 trees planted they contribute to a reduction of 1.3 tonnes of Co2 from the atmosphere each year. A famous man once said

‘The best time to plant A Tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now’
