Our recycling service is available to all UK residents aged 18 and over. As part of our long-term sustainability strategy, we will be extending this service internationally over the next few years, so watch this space. We do not offer this service to any firm, company or partnership. Please visit our Terms and Conditions for more information.

You can track your return during its journey to us with Royal Mail. Due to the volume of returns, we are unable to provide recycling status on individual items once they arrive at our recycling centre.

Once your old hair styling tool has been received at our recycling centre, it will either be reused, repurposed or recycled. Your old styling tool will be collected from our recycling hub at CLOUD NINE HQ by our waste management partners. It is then taken back to their facility, where all items are manually depolluted. All parts that can be recycled are removed and separated before the items are shredded. The components are then broken down back into their raw materials and sent for smelting. If we receive a pre-loved CLOUD NINE product which isn’t at its End of Life (EOL), we will refurbish it, provide it with a new manufacturer’s warranty, and resell the tool to a new home for a discounted price.
