Join our growing community today and discover how small habits can make a big impact 🌎

** HOW DOES IT WORK? **

1. Scan or search a product on the shelf or at home.
2. Point your phone camera at the barcode - Scrapp instantly tells you how to dispose of it correctly by:

(a) Displaying simple instructions like “Recycle,” “Do Not Recycle,”, “Sort Packaging", "Compost", "Repair" and more.
(b) A step-by-step guide that shows which bin each packaging part should go in, or where you can take your waste through our maps feature.
(c) Motivational messages that make you feel like a recycling hero.

** LOCAL GUIDANCE FOR 400M+ PEOPLE **

Scrapp automatically saves your local disposal rules to give you the most accurate guidance - whether that is your residential waste program or private take-back programs - we have you covered. We currently provide location-based recycling guidance across 100% of the UK, US and Canada. 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.

Each time you use Scrapp to dispose of your waste the right way, you also remove ocean-bound plastic. 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.

We’re proud to be helping sustainable brands & retailers clear up confusing environmental claims and make more responsible products that have a positive impact on the planet.

Our mission is to educate and empower a global community towards a circular future. So we appreciate your patience as we work tirelessly towards this mission.

Ratings and reviews

Since the upgrade bin notification did start working but they are not reliable. Yesterday, the garden waste reminder notification did not arrive. On looking in the app, the food bin is not showing for collection tomorrow, but the general waste is. I used the refresh button on that screen and the garden waste and food waste now show. This has happened before,and I have a friend nearby who sees the same issue. Unsure if this is app related or information being entered from local council.Unreliable

I haven't used the app much for the recycling features so I can't comment there, but the bin reminders are incredibly useful. When I first installed the app, I wasn't receiving any bin notifications, so I reached out to the Scrapp team who were very helpful in troubleshooting and getting the notification features working.

I work in IT, it's rare that an application frustrates me like this. talk about terrible design. I gave it my address, and the council, it still shows me no reminders and insists that I tap to subscribe! but I thought I did, what's the problem? the whole process is user-unfriendly, feels like it was designed by dyslexic person that doesn't do what non-dyslexic ppl do. unusable unfortunately.
