Celebrating Sustainability on Earth Day

Mark Woolley and Electric London are leading sustainability for salons.

From a rose garden in the South Downs to a borehole water source and Peruvian coffee beans to order, Electric London is one of the most exciting sustainable brands in the industry.

Founder of Electric London, Mark Woolley, believes that great hair and a healthy planet can work side by side and with sustainability at the heart of his business, he’s putting his beliefs into practice.

“Sustainability is incredibly important to us and it’s our responsibility to create products that not only service the client, but care for the world we live in. We have an incredible piece of land in Sussex, with a natural resource in our borehole, and from the roses we grow to the coffee we serve, every decision is an opportunity to do things better,”
– Mark.

 

As well as products that perform in the salon, here’s five things hairdressers should know about sustainable styling.

1 The Rose Garden Behind The English Rose Serum
English Rose Serum is Electric London’s hero product and the roses used to produce the serum’s signature rose oil are grown in Electric’s own rose garden in Sussex. By sourcing within the British Isles whenever possible, the brand reduces the carbon miles associated with raw material supply chains.

2 The Falmer Court Sustainability Plan
Electric London’s Falmer Court sits within one of England’s most beautiful landscapes, and Mark dedicates time and resources to care for the property and land. Working in partnership with the South Downs National Park and academic teams from the University of Sussex, Electric London is developing a sustainability and biodiversity plan for the future. This includes planting more than 200 trees across the Falmer Court land, installation of dew ponds to support natural water retention and local ecosystems, and a biodiversity plan developed alongside Sussex University researchers.

3 From Borehole To Bottle
Falmer Court is home to its own natural water source, accessed via a borehole, which is one of the natural ingredients in their product range.

 

4 Fully Recyclable Packaging
Across the entire Electric London product range, packaging is fully recyclable. This commitment ensures that its environmental footprint is as light as possible.

5 Peruvian Coffee Roasted For You
Electric London imports its own fairtrade and organic coffee beans from Peru and has them roasted to a bespoke taste which is then available to all Electric partner salons.
