Case Study: My Little Plastic Footprint app

Background

Supported by UN Environment, the My Little Plastic Footprint app offers dozens of pledges you can take to reduce your plastic usage including committing to natural and plastic-free clothing and applying coral-reef safe sunscreen. It provides information on plastic-free alternatives and the best zero waste and eco-friendly lifestyle practices.

Get inspired by plastic-free heroes such as marine consultant and diver Pierre-Yves Cousteau and free diving record holder Nanja van den Broek.

With more than 10,000 downloads and 340 reviews, this is one of the more popular sustainable lifestyle apps available. Rated G, it’s also great for educating kids too on their plastic footprint!

The app is available on 4 platforms:

• iPhone

• iPad

• Android

• Web: It is accessible through My Little Plastic Footprint.

Opportunity

The app features include but are not limited to:

Welcome to your plastic diet: Create a profile and find out what the plastic footprint of your area is and what you can do to help improve it.
Discover the right alternatives: My Little Plastic Footprint focuses on plastic items found in the main areas of our daily lives. With every item you add to your diet, you will discover a sustainable alternative that you must achieve.
Reduce your plastic mass index (PMI): To calculate your plastic footprint, we have created the Plastic Mass Index (PMI). The PMI is a measure to calculate your contribution to plastic pollution. The closer your PMI is to zero, the less you contribute; the closer your PMI gets to 100, the more you contribute. By going on a plastic diet, you will reduce your PMI.
Support: With the user's donation, they keep working on creating awareness about the impact of plastic on the environment and our health.

The My Little Plastic Footprint app is available through the web, Android, and iOS systems and can be accessed through computer desktops, laptops, smartphones, and iPads.

The developer contemplates that there is still room for improvement in the My Little Plastic Footprint App to increase the number of downloads and usability of the App. The developer wants to improve the app in a way that interests almost all age groups such as younger and older generations, people from different sectors (public and private or small, medium and large companies, schools, universities, etc.) and those who care about the impact they make on the planet but have no idea where to start.

This is where your knowledge and capabilities, analytical and problem-solving skills, research ability and teamwork and leadership skills will assist them.
