About this app

See how much plastic touches the things you use every day, and find better swaps.

Microplastics can come from almost anything: food packaging, water bottles, baby bottles, takeout containers, cookware, tea bags, cosmetics and skincare. MicroPlastics turns any product into a clear 0 to 100 Product Contact Signal, explains what drives it, and shows lower-plastic options you can switch to.

MICROPLASTICS SCANNER FOR EVERYDAY ITEMS
- Scan a barcode, snap a label or photo, or type an item in
- Food and drinks, bottled water, baby bottles and feeding gear
- Containers, food storage, cookware, kettles and the microwave
- Cosmetics, skincare and personal care: check ingredient lists for listed polymers
- Sweep a shelf to compare supported barcodes in one pass

UNDERSTAND YOUR SCORE
- Lower is better: less modeled plastic contact for that item and how you use it
- See the main driver, such as material, heat, wear or packaging
- Check confidence and the research behind each estimate
- Browse independent lab measurements published by PlasticList

SWAP AND IMPROVE
- Lower-plastic alternatives matched to what you scanned
- Compare items side by side and save the swaps you like
- Guides on BPA, PFAS, phthalates and nanoplastics, plus water filters, glass and steel bottles, and plastic-free food storage
- Build low-tox habits with plans, room check-ins, quests and your Plastic Passport
- Find refill stations and low-packaging shops near you

HOW TO READ RESULTS
Scores are research-informed estimates based on materials and use, not lab tests of your item. They are not a safety rating, diagnosis or measure of what entered your body. MicroPlastics is not a medical device; talk to a healthcare professional about health questions.
