Horizon helps everyone share packaging data so we can tell you exactly what you can and can't recycle in your area.

Accurate, Local Recycling Instructions

No more ambiguous recycling labels. Simply scan a barcode and we will tell you exactly what to do with the packaging.

Incredible Idea!

A friend recommended the app, now I’ve told my whole family so we all have it! Brilliant concept and makes recycling so much easier and a fun way of doing it!

I love it

As an environmental activist with a very busy schedule, this makes me feel like I’m doing so much more for the world day by day and I can safely say I’m a proud user of the Horizon app

Great job!

Thank you!

 I’m just a bored 15 year old who is passionate about treating the earth correctly. What I’m trying to say is I love the app and have always wanted an app like this I just never could put it into words so thank you!!

This app will go far!

This is such a simple and great idea for anyone confused about their local recycling rules. As someone who moves a lot I can never keep up to date with which council accepts which materials!

Amazing app!

I downloaded this app after seeing it on Tiktok and I’m glad to say I am very pleased with it. I always try to recycle where I can but sometimes packaging is labelled in a way that makes it very hard to understand. This app has made this process ten times easier and I hope that everyone uses it!

Stay up to date.
