Carbon Tracker: Eco Food Scan

Make every grocery trip a climate-smart choice. Point your camera at a food barcode and Carbon Tracker shows an estimate of the product's carbon footprint (g CO₂e), its Green-Score (formerly Eco-Score), and lower-carbon alternatives from the same aisle. Food production accounts for roughly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet packaging rarely shows it. Carbon Tracker turns published life-cycle data into a clear answer in seconds. 📸 FAST BARCODE SCANNER - Scans EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC, and GS1 retail barcodes - Works offline with a built-in supermarket database - Looks up millions more products through Open Food Facts when you're online 🏷 GREEN-SCORE (FORMERLY ECO-SCORE) - See an environmental grade at a glance, from best to worst - Understand why a product scores high or low 🔬 LIFE-CYCLE BREAKDOWN - Ingredients: farm-stage emissions and resource use - Processing and energy: factory carbon intensity - Packaging: recyclability and materials (rPET, cardboard, glass, aluminium) - Food miles: origin, distance, and transport method 🔄 GREENER SWAPS When you scan a high-carbon item, the app suggests lower-emission alternatives in the same category. In some cases the difference is very large. ⚠ DEFORESTATION RISK ALERTS Spot ingredients linked to deforestation risk, such as uncertified palm oil, soy feed, and cattle. 📊 YOUR CLIMATE DASHBOARD - Track your monthly scanned emissions (kg CO₂e) - See your grade distribution chart - Export your scan history to CSV 🌍 AVAILABLE IN 4 LANGUAGES English, Deutsch, Français, Nederlands 🔒 PRIVATE - No account or sign-in - Your scan history stays on your device - Product lookups use the Open Food Facts database, which receives the barcode you scan ABOUT THE NUMBERS Results are estimates based on published life-cycle assessment data (ADEME Agribalyse and Poore & Nemecek, Oxford) and the open Open Food Facts database. They show typical impacts for a product category and are not audits of an individual product. Download Carbon Tracker and see what's really in your shopping basket.
