App Description
The only microplastics scanner built on peer-reviewed research.
Scan any food or drink product and receive a science-based safety score backed by real studies — not guesswork.
How It Works
Scan a product using your camera or barcode.
Our AI evaluates the packaging, including material type and physical condition.
Receive a safety score (0–100) based on published research.
Track exposure over time and discover safer alternatives.
Each scan includes citations from peer-reviewed studies so you can see exactly where the science comes from.
What Makes This Different
Most product scanners label things as simply “good” or “bad.”
Microplastics risk is more complicated than that.
This app analyzes the factors that actually influence microplastic contamination:
Packaging material (glass, PET, HDPE, polystyrene, etc.)
Physical wear such as scratches, dents, or UV exposure
Usage conditions like heating, microwaving, reuse, or acidic contents
Estimated particle release based on recent peer-reviewed research
The result is a realistic risk score, not a simplistic rating.
Key Features
Hybrid scanning
Combines barcode lookup with image analysis of packaging condition.
Research-based scoring
Every score references specific scientific publications (ACS, PNAS, ScienceDirect, PMC).
Condition assessment
A scratched plastic bottle can release significantly more particles than a new one. The app accounts for that.
Context modifiers
Heating, microwaving, and acidic liquids can increase particle release. The score adjusts based on how the product is actually used.
Exposure tracking
A simple dashboard shows how your daily exposure changes over time.
Local eco guide
Find zero-waste stores, sustainable restaurants, and farmers markets nearby.
Daily goals and streaks
Activity rings, streak tracking, and rewards help build better habits.
Progress system
Earn XP, unlock badges, and track progress across food categories.
Mystery rewards
Daily surprises like XP boosts and streak protection.
The Science Behind the Scores
The scoring model incorporates findings from recent research, including:
Microwaving plastic containers can release 326,000–534,000 particles in 5 minutes (PMC, 2024)
PE cups show a 32.7% increase in particle release at 60°C compared to 5°C (ScienceDirect, 2025)
Mechanical damage can increase particle release by 2–4× (ACS, 2024)
