Bower Collective

My thoughts on the overall narrative in the UK press around reuse and refill, published in The Grocer letters section this week, inspired by a conversation with Catherine Conway on the work we both do day in day out, with Bower Collective and GoUnpackaged driving the agenda forwards, testing, learning, innovating, improving!

The Bower team was out and about today doing a beach clean. 🏝️ Sadly, so much plastic waste was found on our shores, polluting our natural environment. The plastic waste crisis is real. That’s why we built our reusable packaging system BowerPack™️ to prevent plastic waste from ending up in landfill and the natural environment. So proud of our team today for doing something good for the planet! 🌍💚 #beachclean #plasticwaste #plasticinouroceans #plasticlitter

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 In honour of this year's Earth Day - Planet vs. Plastics, we're celebrating a year in which we made even more positive progress in our mission to transition the consumer goods industry to a plastic waste free, low carbon future. The macro environment remained challenging. COP28 was controversially hosted in the petrostate of the UAE, with still no formal agreement on phasing out of fossil fuels. In the UK, the long-awaited EPR legislation (Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging waste) was delayed by another year, the latest in a series of delays from the government. Despite this backdrop, here at Bower we remained laser-focused on our mission and made positive strides across our strategic plan. In this report we highlight the major roll-out of our BowerPack™ reusable packaging system and the considerable progress we achieved around understanding and improving our carbon impact.
