Sustainability
Our green commitment.
Our clinics take part in Green Circle Salons’ waste recovery programme to keep eligible beauty waste out of landfill.
Medical aesthetics has a waste problem that safety rules make hard to avoid. We decided to deal with it rather than look away.
Why sustainability matters in our industry
Single-use items are an important part of treatment hygiene. Once used, they remain single-use; participation in a waste recovery programme does not mean they are reused in treatments.
Specialised recovery programmes provide additional routes for eligible waste. We follow the programme’s acceptance requirements while maintaining our treatment hygiene procedures.
Our partnership with Green Circle Salons
Both Skinholic clinics participate in Green Circle Salons’ waste recovery programme. Eligible beauty waste is collected and handled through the programme according to its acceptance and sorting requirements.
Depending on the material, accepted waste may be recycled, repurposed or recovered as energy.
The $2.95 sustainability fee
Since September 1, 2025, a $2.95 sustainability fee has been added to services at our clinics. It directly funds the recycling partnership and covers:
- Collection and transportation of recyclable materials
- Specialised processing of used supplies
- Investment in more sustainable product alternatives
- The added cost of eco-friendly treatment supplies
Beyond recycling
Recycling is the cornerstone, but not the whole plan. We have moved to LED lighting and energy-efficient equipment, we keep documentation digital wherever we can, and we look for sustainable alternatives when we choose products and suppliers.
Where we are heading
This programme is the first phase of a longer plan. Our goals include:
- Working towards carbon neutrality
- Partnering with manufacturers on more sustainable packaging
- Educating clients about sustainable beauty practices
- Expanding recycling to additional waste streams
