Rethink Black Friday: a new approach to tech and sustainability

Each year, millions of perfectly functional devices end up as e-waste, contributing to a mounting environmental crisis. At the same time, Black Friday has long been synonymous with throngs of shoppers and flashy tech deals and the landfills just keep getting bigger and bigger. 

This and every Black Friday, we're taking a stand for what we believe is right.

Rather than chasing the latest models, we encourage you to hold on to your existing devices a little longer. Hivenet's 'Rethink Black Friday' is not about buying new; it's about making the most of what you have and joining a community dedicated to tech longevity and environmental stewardship.

Celebrate sustainability with Hivenet

To make that choice practical, Store with Hivenet currently includes 3 GB of free cloud storage. It gives new users room to try file storage and photo backup before choosing a paid plan.

How to get started

Getting started is simple. Sign up for a free Hivenet account, and you’ll start with the current free storage allowance. It’s a small step that helps reduce e-waste while showing your commitment to a more responsible tech future.

Contribution is temporarily unavailable

Hivenet is working on the next version of contribution, so users cannot currently contribute storage or offset a paid plan this way. Check the contribution page for the current status.

Rethink the way you consume tech

This Black Friday, let's redefine the narrative that has us consume more and more. It's time to look beyond the discounts and see the value in sustainability. The technical side matters too: see how cloud infrastructure handles Black Friday demand.

Love your devices; use them responsibly, extend their life, and share their potential. In doing so, we become  part of a community that doesn’t want to drown our planet in plastic waste.

The most sustainable tech is the one you're already using.
