Sustainability Pledge – Pivot Point UK
Building a Greener Future
Sustainability is more than just a word for us; it’s a pledge. From our product development to the manufacturing process, we are committed to finding innovative and eco-friendly solutions that minimise our impact on the planet. Our mission is to make meaningful contributions to the hair and beauty industry, which is why we’ve joined forces with industry advocates to develop resources to kickstart your sustainability journey.
Our journey began in the 1970s with the launch of an eco-friendly mannequin product line. Over time, we meticulously scrutinised each component, opting for those that align with our sustainability ethos as we evolved this product and launched a second eco-friendly solution, emphasising our commitment to reducing landfill waste from traditional foamed mannequins. Every choice was a step toward reducing our environmental footprint.
But sustainability is just that, a journey. Our sustainable business practices help us continue to prioritise green initiatives and foster a culture of environmental responsibility among our team. Together, we can create change towards a more sustainable future.

THE FIRST SLIP-ON
In 1976, our founder, Leo Passage, invented the first ever Slip-On mannequin. This innovation allowed stylists to use one single headform with a variety of hair lengths, colours, and textures, and marks our crucial first step toward creating more eco-friendly solutions.
THE INNOVATIVE CAP
In 2005, the first iteration of Snap Cap was introduced—an eco-friendly mannequin that helps reduce waste and save space. Designed with hollow headforms and replaceable caps, this product eliminated the foam fill inside a traditional mannequin.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS
In 2017, we introduced the next generation of Snap Cap, Snap Cap 2. The new iteration of the eco-friendly foamless alternative to traditional mannequins is much easier to use through engineering enhancements, without sacrificing the high-quality hair students and professionals have come to expect from Pivot Point.

Learn MoreBy promoting digital eBooks, Smart Notes and other learning materials, we can help minimize the carbon footprint associated with printing, shipping, and the disposal of paper products. Digital publishing allows for easier distribution and updating of content, reducing the need for frequent reprints and revisions. Digital learning promotes environmental sustainability and offers cost savings and greater accessibility to educational resources for learners worldwide.
As we continue our journey towards more sustainable practices, every product’s packaging is carefully crafted with eco-consciousness at its core. By prioritizing non-toxic colors on our new mannequin packaging, we ensure the safety of both our customers and the environment, minimizing harmful chemicals in the production process. Opting for recyclable materials reduces waste and promotes the circular economy. We focus on bundle shipments to reduce transportation emissions and packaging materials, further lessening our environmental impact.
With employees splitting their time between office and remote work, there is a decrease in traffic congestion and fuel consumption, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Fewer people commuting daily means less demand for office space, resulting in reduced energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting. Embracing a hybrid work model promotes a more sustainable approach to our business operations.
