A dog grooming salon has partnered with a recycling company to recycle dog hair in 10 different ways.
Hairy Poppins, in Stockbridge Road, Winchester, has teamed up with Green Salon Collective to recycle dog hair from grooms in a number of ways, including using it for oil spill cleanups, art and design projects, and composting.
The partnership means the salon will charge a £1 green fee per groom.
Owners Tracey Haines and Samantha Brooks said: "We are thrilled to join forces with the Green Salon Collective.
"At Hairy Poppins, we have always valued our clients' satisfaction, and now we can extend that satisfaction to the planet as well.
"By recycling hair in 10 different ways, we are bringing sustainability right into our community.
"It's not just about grooming anymore; it's about making a difference."
Hairy Poppins is a mother-and-daughter team with more than 30 years of experience.
The salon offers dog grooming and daycare.
Green Salon Collective is an organisation that aims to transform the grooming industry's environmental impact.
It does this by offering recycling programmes that prevent waste from going to landfill.
By choosing Hairy Poppins, customers become part of an eco-conscious movement, ensuring that even the smallest actions can make a significant difference.
