Another app I've heard about is https://buyeuropean.io/
They're running on US tech though.

the app on my iphone is working very very good. I hope it will work as smooth on my Fairphone 5 too (when I buy the e/OS Murena version in June :-)

The iOS app was updated 7 years ago, and clicking the Google Play button leads to โ€œpage not foundโ€. Seems abandoned to me.

Their data is crowd sourced, and they seem to have (or have had) users in many countries, so products available in your country might be available. But I havenโ€™t used it so I canโ€™t say what information they provide or how accurate it is.

it's BUYcott app. There is an app in the iOS app store (also in Google store) where you can scan products to see what the origin is. They also have a website: www.buycott.com It's a paid app. I went to their website to see what it's all about, but ... I don't know. It's an American thing. They have a project called "Boycot Trump products", but I still have my doubts about it.
