🌍 Happy Earth Day from the Only Planet We’ve Got

Since last Earth Day, you - our brilliantly down-to-earth Bower community - have sorted 50,004,903 packages, to be exact. That’s over 50 million little love letters to the planet. That’s you saying “No thanks, incineration and landfill.” Doing the work. Not just talking the talk. Sorting, and then sorting again, as part of your daily routine.

Meanwhile, over in space tourism land… yes, we saw NS-31 too. Six incredible women, no doubt. But let’s be real: that rocket burned more CO₂ in ten minutes than twenty average individuals emit in an entire year. And here you are, not chasing headlines, not fleeing the atmosphere, just rinsing and sorting like it actually matters. (Because it does.) Every scan is your tiny-but-mighty mic drop. Every bag of sorted waste is a quiet clapback to anyone still pretending we’ve got time to waste.

As many countries speed toward their Earth Overshoot Day (spoiler: it’s getting earlier every year and many have already reached it or will within the next few weeks), the message couldn’t be clearer. We’re consuming more than Earth can regenerate - and it’s only spring.

So this Earth Day, we’re not clapping for space billionaires. We’re cheering for you, the everyday heroes making small choices that add up to a big impact. Because real heroes don’t need a rocket. They just need a recycling bin… and a bit of Bower.

♻️ Sort more. Waste less. Love the Earth you’re standing on.

This one goes out to that one neighbour - the self-appointed Sorting Sheriff.
They don’t wear a badge.
They don’t need a badge.
They’ve got an A4 printer and a lifetime supply of passive-aggressive comments.

They patrol the recycling room like it’s a crime scene.
Sniffing out unflattened boxes like they’re hot clues.
Leaving firm but fair notes.

They write novels in the local Facebook group.
And just happen to swing by the trash room… daily. Casually. With flashlights.

To you, the underpaid, overqualified recycling vigilante we never asked for, but desperately need. Bless you and may your toner never run dry.

🎉 Happy Global Recycling Day! 🌍♻️

Yeah, we know, there’s a "day" for everything now (Talk Like a Pirate Day, anyone?). But this one's actually worth celebrating.

Since Bower launched 6 years ago, you've given 140 MILLION packages a second life. Can you picture that? Neither can we, and we're Swedish. Sorting is literally our thing (right after flat-pack furniture, of course).

Now that we're global, the goal is even bigger: more packages saved, fewer guilty wrong-bin moments.

Oh and did we mention our community of 750k recyclers has donated over 1 million SEK to charities? Seriously, you’re all making us look bad. Keep it up.

Today’s your day, recyclers. Thanks for turning yesterday’s trash into tomorrow’s treasure. You're smashing it. 💚

Who knew you could still get dough after finishing your pizza? 🍕💸 Done with holiday leftovers? We get it—there’s only so much ham and herring a person can take. When your tastebuds scream for something else, pizza is the answer. 🙌

20,000 SEK for a life-saving cause. ❤️ Did you know that every two minutes, a woman dies from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth? It’s a hidden tragedy, overshadowed by war, poverty, climate disasters, and inequality.

Here’s the twist: something useless for you—like an empty cereal package—can become life-saving for someone else.

Even though Musikhjälpen on TV will be over in a couple of days, our Bower donation box in the app is open all December. Every penny goes directly to Radiohjälpen to ensure that everyone has the right to survive their pregnancy. 💚

Make a difference today—open the app, scan, donate, and help us reach our 20,000 SEK goal together. 🌍✨

We all produce trash, but together, we’re finding the best destinations for it. You, my friend, are part of this incredible pack. Join us this Sunday and make a difference with every piece you sort! 💚

Recycle your batteries and help educate the next generation about our environmental responsibilities and the importance of protecting our planet. ♻️🔋⁠

We are excited to share our new partnership with VARTA Batteries in the UK, which offers you amazing rewards and presents an important challenge!⁠

For every battery you recycle, you will earn rewards from us. Plus, for a limited time, when you recycle four batteries, VARTA will donate £1 to The Scouts.⁠

This initiative supports the Cubs Global Issues Badge, which emphasizes and educates on the importance of recycling. By sponsoring the Global Issues Badge, VARTA reinforces our shared commitment to educating young people about environmental challenges.⁠

Check out the challenge in the Bower app (link in bio 🔗).
