ScanTerra

Turn your everyday shopping into an eco-adventure. Instead of guessing how sustainable your favorite products really are, you just scan the barcode — and boom, instant insights. The app fetches product details, runs them through an AI-powered analysis, and gives you a carbon footprint score out of 100. It’s like having an environmental scientist in your pocket.

Built during TerraHacks 2024, ScanTerra combines tech and sustainability with a clean, fast interface. Using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and react-zxing for scanning, it delivers smooth barcode detection and sleek animations powered by Framer Motion. The Barcode Lookup API fetches real-world data, while AI from Anthropic crunches the numbers to rate each product’s eco-friendliness.

It’s a small step toward greener choices, but a big leap for conscious consumers. With ScanTerra, you can literally point your camera, scan a product, and see the planet’s perspective — all in seconds.
