Innovating Online Shopping & Recycling

Concept Explained

Clerecy proposes a prototype/method for tracking the recyclability of the products. Our goal is for every purchased product to to have this information provided by the seller or crowdsourced from buyers. Think of it as a "green credit score". With more information, the entire supply chain can make adjustments to meet buyer preferences and innovate product development.

We built the "Clerecy Data" web app to track product and package data at home.
