Bower Recycling: it pays to recycle

Thanks to a new app recycling can be good for the planet - and for your wallet.

Ooh - tell me more!

Bower Recycling is an app designed to encourage people to recycle. While everyone knows that recycling is good for the planet, people may find it too complicated, or think it is too much to do on an already busy day.

The app gives people a reward through money or coupons for charitable causes when they recycle everyday items.

Does it work?

In countries like Germany, Finland, Norway, and Canada, which have already implemented financial incentives, the recycling rates are above 90%. Alternatively, only 44.4% of household waste in the UK was recycled in 2020.

If you’re interested in using Bower Recycling, you can do so by downloading their app. Additionally, if you want to support a recycling charity, you can give back to Recycle Now to help encourage and optimise recycling in the UK.
