Recycled Human Hair Is Cleaning Belgian Water
Imagine if the hair caught in your drain could actually help to clean it.

That's what's happening in Belgium, where human hair is being recycled to help clean the country's water.

Around the country, hairdressers are taking the hair they cut from their customers' heads and putting it into bags. These bags of hair are then collected by a non-profit organization that runs a project called "Hair Recycle."

The hair collected by Hair Recycle is put through a machine and made into 60-centimeter-wide square mats. These mats can then be put into a drain to absorb oil and other pollution before it gets into a river or stream.

According to the Hair Recycle website, 1 kilogram of hair can absorb up to 8 liters of oil.

To take part in the project, hair salons have to pay a small fee. They then receive bags to collect the hair, and a sticker for their window, so they can show their customers that they are helping the environment.

Salons in Luxembourg and the Netherlands are also taking part in the Hair Recycle project.

Belgium's Hair Recycle is not the only hair recycling project, however. In the UK and Ireland, a company called Green Salon Collective is recycling hair and other waste from salons, including metal, paper, plastic and chemicals.

And a similar company called Green Circle Salons is recycling hair and other salon waste in the US and Canada.

So maybe hair in the drain can be a good thing?

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Enigmático Mensaje parte 1.


Elena se encontraba en su estudio, frente a su ordenador, intentando encontrar la inspiración para su próxima novela. De pronto, un golpe sordo resonó en la puerta principal. Al abrir, se encontró con un sobre manila sin remitente. Con el corazón acelerado, lo abrió y encontró un solo papel con una frase escrita a mano: "El mar guarda secretos".

Intrigada, Elena salió a la calle y se dirigió al faro, un lugar al que solía ir para encontrar paz y tranquilidad. Allí, mientras contemplaba el inmenso océano, recordó una antigua leyenda local que hablaba de un tesoro escondido en las profundidades del mar y de una maldición que pesaba sobre aquellos que intentaran encontrarlo.

Al regresar a su casa, Elena se encontró con Martín, quien había venido a informarle sobre una serie de extraños sucesos que habían estado ocurriendo en el pueblo: desapariciones inexplicables, pesadillas recurrentes entre los habitantes y un creciente sentimiento de temor.

Martín, al escuchar la historia de Elena y el mensaje misterioso, se dio cuenta de que ambos hechos podrían estar conectados. Juntos, decidieron investigar más a fondo, adentrándose en un laberinto de secretos y peligros que los llevarían a descubrir una verdad oculta que sacudiría los cimientos del pueblo.
