Become a partner

Every collection point begins a useful journey.

From an independent salon to a municipality, marina or foundation, every partner can contribute in a different and meaningful way.

Five ways to take part

Find the role that fits your organisation.

We do not ask everyone for the same thing. Each partnership is built around a clear role, a realistic outcome and a way to measure it.

01Collection points

Salons, barber shops & pet groomers

Keep clean, dry clippings separate. We provide simple guidance and organise entry into the network.

For collection points

Clean. Dry. Separate.

Those are the three essential rules. The process must stay easy for the team and fit the normal rhythm of the workplace.

Yes: human hair and clean pet fur.
No: paper, gloves, foils, food, liquids or other waste.
Storage: in a dry, closed bag or container set out in the collection protocol.
Recording: basic weight and collection-date information.

A new partner’s journey

Four clear steps, without unnecessary complexity.

Introduction

Tell us who you are, where you are based and roughly how much material you collect.

Feasibility check

We agree acceptance criteria, packaging, destination and who pays shipping before any dispatch.

Guidance & start

Your team receives short instructions and begins separating correctly.

Shipping & update

You send the material after confirmation; GGHS will weigh, check and record each accepted batch.

After you express interest, we will contact you. Once the pilot starts, businesses will ship material to Athens after we agree instructions, the destination and shipping arrangements. Do not send material before confirmation. Collection routes may be considered at a later stage of growth.
