Acorn Green Story

Hair Donations
We have partnered with Matter of Trust, a company who uses hair clippings to soak up oil spills. Matter of Trust is collaborating with thousands of salons throughout the US and abroad, that donate their hair clippings to soak up oil spills. Last year over 2,600 oil spills occurred in the world. They weren't all are high profile, but most had an impact on the environment. Phil McCrory, a hair stylist from Alabama, first discovered how hair can help. He was watching CNN coverage on the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. He noticed the fur on the Alaskan otters completely soaked with oil. He began testing how much oil he could collect with the hair clipping from his salon. Phil then invented the hairmat which has other uses as well. Hair also provides a slow protein release which is excellent for flower growers.

All of Acorn's hair clippings are shipped to Matter of Trust once a month.



Bag Re-Use
Not only do we re-use shopping bags, we re-use plastic bags when processing hair color!
