About this app

Sortwell harnesses the power of AI to make plastic sorting easy. Just place the plastic "thing" on a clutter free surface, hit the button to snap a photo, and our robots will tell you which bag it goes in.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a bit skeptical because the results are almost always multilayer plastic, but the one time I really thought it was wrong I reached out and someone from Ridwell confirmed the item was multilayer plastic. This removes the need to keep rereading the category descriptions (which sometimes contradict one another depending if it's on the site or the bag or an email). I am thankful they made it so easy.

I would really like the app to be able to tell you when your next pickup was, allow you to switch your featured category, etc. this is basically just a photo app that tells you what category a piece of plastic goes in. maybe they have that type of app for iPhone but not Android.

This type of app was on my wishlist. I get perplexed about sorting plastic film from MLP, and this has taken the guess work out. Love it! Would be great if they develop a feature to "save" my scans and reference them later so I have a library of my most oftenly recycled materials.
