Hair Help the Ocean sent

This organization was looking for a way to do something good with the hair that was cut off and discovered the "hair filters". The French club is a role model "Coiffeur Justes" (fair hairdressers) from southern France.

Haare Strumfe

= Hair filter

The hair is stuffed into old nylon stockings, tied into rolls and then used as a filter in polluted waters. The suction function of the hair filter pulls the oil out of the water, is then cleaned and can be reused up to eight times. One kilogram of hair can filter up to eight kilograms of oil from the water.

Let's protect our water together

These hair filters are used worldwide. In lakes and bodies of water, in front of industrial areas and on coasts to filter oils, fuel residues and suntan lotion out of the water. In the summer of 2019, the hair filters were also used off Mauritius when a freighter ran aground there and lost several thousand tons of oil.

Save the world with hair.
