🎯 Did you know that when you recycle a can in Sweden, you’re not just reducing waste? You can also help grow forests! 🌳

♻️ Sweden boasts one of the world’s highest recycling rates on bottles and cans. The so-called pant system gives money back when you recycle and is a part of Swedish everyday life. (So much so that it even has its own verb – to ’panta’!) According to the most recent statistics, 88.5% of cans and bottles were returned in 2023. To further boost recycling, the pant deposit amount will be raised in 2025 to encourage even more returns
 
🌱 Many Swedes choose to donate their ’pantpengar’ (deposit refunds) to organisations like Vi Agroforestry, which plants trees in East Africa to combat desertification, climate change and improve livelihoods.

How it works:
 
1️⃣ Look for ’pantmärket’ (deposit symbol) on your can.
 
2️⃣ Bring it to a nearby ’pantstation’.
 
3️⃣ Press donate, or claim your refund – and feel like an eco-hero! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

🌍 By choosing to ’panta’, you’re saving resources, reducing emissions, and supporting global green efforts. Small action = huge impact. 🌟

🔄 How many cans have you recycled this year? 👇
