The Beat the Microbead app is the fastest way to learn if your cosmetics and personal care products contain plastic ingredients. This app uses state-of-the-art text recognition technology. Just scan the ingredients of your products and check them for microplastics. Not only that, but you can also get to know microplastic-free brands certified by us.

How does it work?

It’s straightforward: you can scan products with four easy steps:
- Find the ingredients list on your product.
- Position the full list within your camera frame.
- Make sure the ingredients are clear to read.
- Take a picture to scan!

A traffic light rating system

- RED: Products that contain microplastics.
- ORANGE: Products that contain what we call “sceptical” microplastics. With this, we mean synthetic polymers for which there is not enough information available.
- GREEN: Products that do not contain microplastics.

Help us enrich our database!

Every time you add a product to our database, you help us build a case against microplastics. With every product information, we can create evidence and convince authorities about the extensive use of plastic ingredients. A bit of extra effort on your side makes you a part of the fight against microplastics in cosmetics and care products. So, go ahead, scan the barcode of your product and help us get some more information!

By adding the products to our database, you can also discover our certified microplastic-free brands. These brands have their entire range of products free of all known microplastic ingredients.

Why is it important?

Plastic in cosmetics is a global problem! Microplastics are hardly visible ingredients that pollute our planet & may pose health risks. These microplastics, hardly visible to the naked eye, flow straight from the bathroom drain into the sewer system. Microplastics are not biodegradable, and once they enter the (marine) environment, they are almost impossible to remove.

Sea animals absorb or eat microplastics; these particles are passed along the marine food chain. Since humans are ultimately at the top of this food chain, it is likely that we also ingest microplastics.

Using body washes or cosmetics that contain microplastics can put the ocean, ourselves, and our children at risk! With this app, you can get aware of this issue and make environmentally friendly choices.

Who is behind this app?

The collaborators behind this app include the following partners:

Plastic Soup Foundation: NGO based in Amsterdam, initiators of the worldwide campaign “Beat the Microbead”. Their mission: No plastic in our water or our bodies!

PINCH: a renowned mobile development agency from Amsterdam that is proud of their work for the Plastic Soup Foundation.

De Beat the Microbead app is de snelste manier om te zien of jouw cosmetica en verzorgingsproducten plastic ingrediënten bevatten. Deze app gebruikt geavanceerde herkenningstechnologie. Je kunt simpelweg de ingrediënten scannen en ziet gelijk of er microplastics in zitten. En dat niet alleen; je kunt zelfs door ons gecertificeerde merken zonder microplastics leren kennen!

Hoe werkt het?

Het is heel eenvoudig: je kunt producten scannen in vier stappen:
- Vind de lijst met ingrediënten op je product.
- Positioneer de hele lijst in het scherm van je camera.
- Zorg dat de ingrediënten goed te lezen zijn.
- Neem een foto om te scannen!

Een stoplicht systeem

- ROOD: Producten die microplastics bevatten.
- ORANJE: Producten die zogenoemde “twijfelachtige” microplastics bevatten. Hiermee bedoelen we synthetische polymeren waarover niet genoeg informatie beschikbaar is.
- GROEN: Producten die geen microplastics bevatten.

Help ons onze database te verrijken!

Elke keer dat je een product aan onze database toevoegt, help je ons om een zaak op te bouwen tegen het gebruik van microplastics. Alle product informatie helpt bij het verzamelen van bewijs, zodat we autoriteiten kunnen overtuigen van het omvangrijke gebruik van plastic ingrediënten. Een beetje extra hulp van jou zorgt dat je deel uit kunt maken van de strijd tegen microplastics in cosmetica en verzorgingsproducten. Doe mee en scan nu de barcode van je product en help ons aan meer informatie!

Door het toevoegen van producten aan onze database kun je ook door ons gecertificeerde merken zonder microplastics ontdekken. Alle producten van deze merken zijn vrij van alle bekende microplastics.

Waarom is het belangrijk?

Plastics in cosmetica zijn een wereldwijd probleem! Microplastics zijn zo goed als onzichtbaar en vervuilen onze planeet & kunnen een risico vormen voor de gezondheid. Deze microplastics, bijna onzichtbaar voor het blote oog, stromen rechtstreeks het riool in vanuit je badkamer. Microplastics zijn niet biologisch afbreekbaar en als ze eenmaal in de natuur (de zee) terechtkomen zijn ze er vrijwel onmogelijk weer uit te krijgen.

Zeedieren absorberen of eten microplastics; deze deeltjes worden doorgegeven in de voedingsketen van de zee. Omdat de mensen bovenaan deze voedingsketen staan is het dus erg waarschijnlijk ook wij microplastics binnen krijgen.

Het gebruik van shampoo of cosmetica die microplastics bevatten brengt de oceaan, onszelf en onze kinderen in gevaar! Door het gebruik van deze app word je bewust van dit probleem en kies je dus voor een schoon milieu.
