Brosseur, the value chain for pet hair
Brosseur is an innovative, eco-friendly company that has found a creative way to add value to pet hair. Their fabric resembles polyester fibers or sheep’s wool.
Before, when you went to the hairdresser, there was no recycling channel, and the 4,000 tons of hair cut by hairdressers every year in France ended up being incinerated or landfilled. In recent years, however, organizations have been set up to recover and reuse it. As hair is lipophilic, i.e. it retains greasy substances, it can combat marine pollution, absorbing hydrocarbons from boats and sun oils. Recycled hair also makes a good sound and heat insulator.
