PlasticScore is a crowdsourced zero waste rating for restaurants. They fund the recovery of plastic waste for every sustainability review, and use the data to help restaurants improve. When downloading the app, be sure to put in the code PRP for the local non-profit, Plastic Reduction Project, who we are working with. PRP will then receive the information for the Austin area and be able to provide feedback to the local restaurants. Local Austin area restaurants include those in Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander, etc.
