The hairdressing industry generates what Wollongong hairdresser Isobel Foye describes as "unique" waste.
On top of hair, there are various chemicals and metals used for treatments, which can easily end up going down the sink and into waterways.
"We're producing high loads of these things, and we use a lot of water and electricity," Ms Foye said.
"So it's been a big problem … what do you do with all this stuff?
"Sometimes we can feel helpless in the way the world is moving … when we were in lockdown, it was a great thing to focus my energy on and still feel like I was contributing to the world in a positive way."
