For consumers
The smartphone always at hand? Annoyed by too much plastic and packaging waste, e.g. the regional tomatoes in plastic packaging or the new board game in cardboard and hard plastic packaging, plus extra foil? Best condition to include the app ReplacePlastic in your everyday life:
With the ReplacePlastic app, you scan the barcode of an affected product. If the product is already stored, you send, fully automatically and with all pre-filled data, from the app a note to the manufacturer:in / retailer:in whether it is possible to reduce the plastic content. Sounds simple? It is! If the data is stored, the process takes less than 2 minutes and the message is sent to the person responsible. If there is no data available for a product, you have the possibility to add the data.
For companies
And this is where you, the entrepreneur:in, come in:
Do you already pay attention to reducing plastic and packaging waste in your company, or are you in the process of doing so? The ReplacePlastic app not only draws companies' attention to too much plastic, but also helps consumers find alternative products. Could yours be one of them? Here you can show yourself as a "Andersmacher:in".
The reach of the app is made clear by the figures that can be viewed: In the app or also on the website you can view statistics showing how many packages have been scanned, how many emails have been sent, which suppliers are contacted most often, which products have been scanned recently and which products have been emailed recently. A delight for environmentally conscious statistics fans, statistics-loving environmental enthusiasts and many more.
