Our internal team reviews frequently, but if there is ever something that awry, you can reach out to our team who will be happy to assist. Good news - you can still use the app even if we don’t support local guidance in your area yet. You’ll see general advice that is correct for most places. ** TRACK YOUR IMPACT ** View a breakdown of the waste you’ve disposed. Track progress towards your zero-waste goals and get actionable insights about your disposal habits. ** FIGHT PLASTIC POLLUTION TOGETHER ** So far, Scrapp has been successfully used to divert over 60,000+ items from ending up in landfill - and we’re just getting started.

For every item you scan or search, we’re making it possible for you to remove ocean-bound plastic - one bottle at a time. ** 36M+ PRODUCTS SO FAR ** We work directly with brands and retailers to use their data for good. But you can help others to dispose of your waste correctly too. Each time you submit new packaging information, it gets added to our library and shared with the rest of the community. ** DISCOVER SUSTAINABLE BRANDS ** Look out for the green verified tick next to brands in the app - it means the information you’re seeing comes straight from one of our verified brands.
