Beat the Microbead应用程序是了解化妆品和个人护理产品是否包含塑料成分的最快方法。此应用程序使用最先进的文本识别技术。只需扫描产品的成分并检查它们是否含有微塑料。不仅如此，您还可以了解我们认证的无微塑品牌。它是如何工作的？
简单明了：您可以通过四个简单的步骤扫描产品：
-在您的产品上找到成分清单。
-将完整列表放在相机框架内。
-确保成分清晰易读。
-拍张照片进行扫描！
红绿灯评级系统
-红色：含有微塑料的产品。
-橙色：含有我们所谓的“怀疑”微塑料的产品。因此，我们是指没有足够可用信息的合成聚合物。
-绿色：不含微塑料的产品。
帮助我们丰富我们的数据库！
每次将产品添加到我们的数据库时，您都可以帮助我们构建针对微塑料的案例。利用每个产品信息，我们可以创建证据并说服权威机构广泛使用塑料成分。您需要付出一些额外的努力，这使您成为对抗化妆品和护理产品中的微塑料的一部分。因此，请继续扫描您产品的条形码，并帮助我们获取更多信息！
通过将产品添加到我们的数据库中，您还可以发现我们经过认证的不含塑料的品牌。这些品牌的所有产品均不含所有已知的微塑料成分。
它为什么如此重要？
化妆品中的塑料是一个全球性问题！微塑料是几乎看不见的成分，会污染我们的星球并可能构成健康风险。这些微塑料几乎是肉眼看不见的，它们直接从浴室的排水口流入下水道系统。微塑料是不可生物降解的，一旦它们进入（海洋）环境，几乎就不可能去除。
海洋动物吸收或食用微塑料；这些颗粒沿着海洋食物链传递。由于人类最终处于食物链的最顶端，因此我们也有可能摄入微塑料。
使用含有微量塑料的沐浴露或化妆品可能会使海洋，我们自己和我们的孩子处于危险之中！有了这个程序，您可以了解这个问题并做出环保的选择。

什么是新的
A small update for Android 13 users, who no longer had the option to use an existing photo for scanning ingredients. Your feedback about the app is welcome and we try to include as much as possible in next updates.

This app does not work! The idea is great but the execution is poor. This app fails horribly. Beat the Microbead used to have a web interface where you could key in the brand, name of product and a list of harmful ingredients would be listed. They have since removed it and focused all their energy on this app which clearly has not been field tested. Please bring back the web interface.

New version is a huge improvement, but camera doesn't focus. Update: yes now it works! That's the most awesome response time. Wouldn't using OCR produce a lot of false negatives? Maybe it's possible to visually show what text is recognized in a taken picture, like the Google Translate app does. Now that I'm on the feedback role: maybe don't show the browser/link part on app pages, this makes it look a bit cheap and seems redundant.

Love it! Normally it would be too complicated to detect on our own microplastics on product ingredients. Also I love the informations you included and the brand list with plastic free products... very insightful 😊 maybe one day you could improve it by switchinh the scanner of barcode with the ingredients (some apps for diets and nutrition do it already, yazio for example)!

This app is really great and useful! As a kid I don't really have much say in what my parents buy so its really not too handy for me but for an adult I can see the use! I think there could be a feature though where you could see the things you've already scanned and see the picture and what the programming saw so we know how to better take pictures. A bar code reader would also be good for items that are already in the database, and a panorama mode would be good for wide round bottles!

The app has an amazing potential to do the good!! It would be amazing if it worked properly. I scanned many products, and I think I've learned many things about ingredients. It has been more than two months since I input a product in the database, it's crashing. I'm just keeping the app to continue checking the ingredients of the products before I buy them. I think it would also be very good if the user could login inside the app and have a list about all the products he/she had already input.

I really want to like this app, but it is geared towards the makers, and not towards the user. Why can't I start with scanning a barcode, and get immediate results or the option to do the ocr thing? I am NOT going to stop for a minute to scan, crop, and again (!) photograph every product I CONSIDER buying, especially since every darn product is then said to be "already in our database". It is wasting my time and my battery. Won't uninstall just yet, but it needs dramatic UX improvements.

Downloading this app was an eye opener! This is extremely user friendly and I ended up scanning all the contents in my bathroom. My only criticism is it would be nice if you could access a list of things you have scanned and what their status was vs. having to rescan them again.

it's a great app in theory, nice simple layout etc and greatly needed in this day and age when even the artic is seeing microbeads.. just as others have pointed out.. disappointing to find it's range doesn't cover anything I own. Also some brands turn up on the list twice at least. Please expand to Japan, it's needed here.
