If the item is not sustainable, The app plays a buzzer sound and shows you alternative brands that you can buy nearby.

OUR CAUSE
Commercial use of cleaning products affect the indoor and outdoor environment and can lead to pollution and waste
The advantages of going green can fall into three major categories: Economic, Health and Environmental Benefits.
WATER POLLUTION
Thousands of chemicals from cleaning products are washed into streams and rivers. Some persist in the environment and enter the food chain.
AIR POLLUTION
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) in cleaning products can affect indoor air quality and add to outdoor smog. Plus, transportation leads to carbon emissions from trucks.
WASTE
Many containers are not made from recyclable materials. Packaging and empty bottles often end up in landfills. Hazardous materials may have a special requirement which usually requires energy for transport and disposal
